Garlic Idli Podi (100g)

1. How is this different from your regular Idli Podi?

One ingredient: garlic. Hand-roasted with the dals and sesame rather than added later. The garlic changes the aroma, adds depth to the flavour, and gives the podi a warmth the regular version doesn’t have. If you love garlic in your food, this is the version to buy. If you prefer the cleaner, nuttier version, go with the regular Idli Podi.

2. Should I use sesame oil or ghee?

Sesame oil. Always. The garlic and sesame are built for each other — it’s the combination that defines South Indian podi eating. Ghee is a substitute if you don’t have sesame oil, but the result is noticeably different. Start with sesame oil the first time. You may use any other oil too if you do not have or use sesame oil

3. Is the garlic flavour strong?

Yes — and intentionally so. The label calls it lip-smacking. The garlic is real, roasted whole with the other ingredients, not added as garlic powder. If you want a milder garlic note, use less podi. If you want the full experience, don’t hold back.

4. What’s in it — and what’s NOT?

Urad Dal, Bengal Gram, Roasted Chana Dal, Garlic, Sesame Seed, Red Chillies, Asafoetida, Oil & Salt. No preservatives, no anti-caking agents, no MSG, no palm oil, no artificial colours, no flavour enhancers. Nothing we wouldn’t put in our own food.

5. How spicy is it?

Mild. The red chillies give it a gentle warmth but this is not a spicy podi. The garlic is the dominant note, not heat. Suitable for everyday eating including low spice tolerance.

6. What’s the shelf life?

6 months from manufacture date. The manufacture date is printed on the pouch.

7. How do I store it after opening?
