Dhaniyalu Podi

Dhaniyalu Podi – From Chittamma’s Kitchen

Aho, my dear, this Dhaniyalu Podi is a fragrant, homely spice blend from the olden days! Made with roasted coriander seeds, red chillies, garlic, and a touch of tamarind, it adds a warm, earthy flavor to every meal.

In the old days, we roasted the spices slowly on the wood stove, the aroma filling the whole house before grinding them fresh in the rolu. A spoon of this podi with hot rice and ghee was enough to satisfy the heart. Every pinch carries the gentle spice of tradition and the loving touch of Chittamma’s kitchen.
