Idly Podi – Spicy Chutney Powder for Idli & Dosa
The ultimate sidekick to fresh idlis and dosas, our Idly Podi is a coarse, spicy chutney powder made with roasted lentils, sesame seeds, dried red chillies, and curry leaves.
Also known as gunpowder podi, this South Indian breakfast staple delivers a nutty, spicy crunch that pairs perfectly with a drizzle of sesame oil or ghee over hot idlis and dosas.
Mix with a spoon of sesame oil or ghee and serve alongside idli, dosa, or upma. It also works as a quick topping for rice, or stirred into curd rice for extra flavour.
Made with roasted lentils and whole spices, no preservatives or artificial flavours, ground fresh in small batches. FSSAI certified.

What's in it?
Roasted lentils, sesame seeds, dried red chillies, and curry leaves, stone-ground into a coarse podi.
How long does it stay fresh?
Best within 4–6 months of opening; the natural sesame oil content means it's best kept refrigerated in warm climates.
How spicy is it?
Medium-spicy — mix with more sesame oil or ghee to mellow it out.
How should I store it?
Store airtight; refrigeration helps it stay fresh longer given the natural oils.
How do I use it?
Mix with sesame oil or ghee and serve alongside idli and dosa, or sprinkle over rice.
