Araikkal : Garlic Sadapodi / Poondu Saatha Podi - 100g ( Pack of 2 )

Spices & Aromatics: The mix typically includes chana dal, urad dal, dry red chilies, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and turmeric powder. These spices add warmth, depth, and mild heat to the podi.

Texture: Garlic sadhapodi has a coarse texture, with the roasted dals providing a slightly crunchy consistency. The garlic and spices are ground together into a powder, but it often remains somewhat grainy for a flavorful bite.

Flavor Profile: It is a balanced blend of savory, spicy, and slightly nutty flavors with a hint of garlic's pungency. The combination of garlic and spices makes it both aromatic and tangy, with a subtle sweetness from jaggery or coconut (optional).

Versatility: It can be used as a condiment with rice, mixed with ghee for a rich flavor, or served with dosas, idlis, or chapatis as a side dish. It is also great as a dipping powder for snacks.

Garlic Sadhapodi is a rustic, homemade spice mix that showcases the richness of Indian flavors. Originating from South India, it is often prepared in households as a quick, easy-to-make accompaniment to a wide range of meals. The garlic cloves are fried until golden and combined with roasted dals and spices, which are then ground into a coarse powder. The result is a fragrant, spicy, and slightly crunchy podi (powder) that can be sprinkled on rice with ghee, used as a topping for snacks, or enjoyed with Indian breads.
