PODI life - South Indian Pantry

Some people stuff jalapeños with cheese, while some choose a spicy, tangy, nutty mix of Peanut PODI and tamarind, dipped in chickpea flour (besan) batter, fried until golden. Both are good, but only one tastes like rainy evenings at home.

South Indian PODI making technique has its own spice logic. roasted, dry, direct. spices that meet food at the last moment, or become the meal themselves.
This is where PODI lives. and this is why, once you find it, one jar that does everything stops making sense.
Part 3 of our beyond garam masala series. the one we've been building toward. 🌶️

✓ very few dishes
Creamy, cozy, and powered almost entirely by PODIs doing the heavy lifting. 💪🏼🤎
