About Idli podi

Idli Podi, also known as "gunpowder" in South Indian cuisine, is a flavorful dry chutney powder made from roasted lentils, dried red chilies, sesame seeds, and spices like cumin and coriander. A staple in South Indian households, it is traditionally served as a condiment with idlis or dosas, often mixed with sesame oil or ghee. Rich in protein and dietary fiber from lentils, it supports digestion and offers sustained energy. The sesame seeds provide healthy fats and essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. However, its spiciness and salt content may require moderation for those watching sodium intake or sensitive to heat. Free from preservatives, it’s a natural, versatile addition to meals, doubling as a seasoning for snacks or rice.
