About Pantry Essentials: Podis & Mixes
When you crave temple-style tamarind rice after a long day, our Puliogare mix saves you hours of prep work. We grind the spices ourselves and roast them slow, so you just need to mix the paste with hot rice and a spoonful of sesame oil for an instant, comforting meal.
Most store-bought spice powders use anti-caking agents and heavy preservatives to keep them on shelves for months. In our kitchen, we work differently. We toast our dals and spices until they are fragrant, grind them in small batches, and pack them immediately so the aroma stays intact when you open the jar.
Our Ellu podi is a pantry hero. It is made with high-quality sesame seeds and dry-roasted spices, making it a quick fix when you need a nutritious side for idli or dosa. The Puliogare mix is our go-to for guests or when you want a quick, tangy lunch. You simply stir it into freshly cooked rice, add a little tempering, and it tastes exactly like the ones served in traditional temple feasts.
We also prepare Groundnut podi and our signature Idly-dosa podi using the same methods. Because we do not use fillers or preservatives, these mixes have a shelf life and taste best when consumed within a few months of preparation. You can pick these up directly from our kitchen in Horamavu, ensuring you always get the freshest batch available.
