Malu's South Indian Curry Leaves Powder 180Gms

Curry leaves are one of the most underappreciated ingredients in a South Indian kitchen. Used primarily as a tempering agent, their potential is rarely explored beyond the first few seconds in hot oil. Curry Leaves Podi corrects that.

At Malu’s Kitchen, we make our Curry Leaves Podi from sun-dried curry leaves — dried slowly to preserve the volatile oils that carry their fragrance — roasted with urad dal, red chillies and Paal Perungayam (solid hing), and ground coarse. The result is a podi that is deeply aromatic, slightly bitter in the way that all good curry leaf preparations are, and layered in a way that plain Molaga Podi is not.

It is also genuinely nutritious — curry leaves are rich in iron, calcium and antioxidants. But that is a secondary fact. The primary fact is that it is delicious.

What’s Inside

• Sun-dried Curry Leaves, Urad Dal, Red Chillies, Asafoetida, Salt

How to Use It

With gingelly oil on hot idli or dosa — same method as Molaga Podi. Also excellent mixed into plain rice with ghee. Or used as a dry rub on roasted vegetables for a distinctly South Indian flavour.
