Frequently asked questions
What is special about this Paruppu Podi?
Our Paruppu Podi is prepared using a traditional recipe that gives a light colour, rich aroma, and balanced flavour. Unlike many paruppu podi varieties available in the market, this podi is blended with pepper and jeera to give a mild, comforting taste that pairs perfectly with hot rice and ghee
How is this different from regular Paruppu Podi available in the market?
Most ready-made paruppu podi varieties are darker in colour and stronger in taste. Our Paruppu Podi is lighter in colour and has a more balanced flavour, with the aroma of pepper and jeera standing out. It is prepared in a traditional style to give a mild, home-style taste suitable for everyday meals.
Does this Paruppu Podi contain garlic?
No, our Paruppu Podi does not contain garlic. It is prepared using lentils, pepper, jeera, and other spices to give flavour without overpowering the dish. This makes it suitable for those who prefer a no-garlic preparation or follow a traditional diet.
Why is this Paruppu Podi lighter in colour?
This podi is made using a traditional roasting method that keeps the colour light while bringing out the natural flavour of the lentils, pepper, and jeera. The lighter colour is a sign of the mild, home-style preparation.
How should Paruppu Podi be eaten?
Paruppu Podi is usually mixed with hot rice and ghee or sesame oil and eaten as a simple and comforting meal. It can also be used as a side dish with idli, dosa, or other tiffin items.
Is this Paruppu Podi spicy?
This podi is not very spicy. The flavour comes mainly from pepper and jeera, which gives a mild heat and pleasant aroma rather than strong chilli spice. It is suitable for children, elderly people, and anyone who prefers a gentle flavour.
How should Paruppu Podi be stored after opening?
Store the podi in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For longer freshness, keep it refrigerated. After each use, close the pack tightly and store it back in the refrigerator. Always use a dry spoon to prevent moisture and maintain quality.
