Frequently asked questions
What is special about this Thengai Podi?
Our Thengai Podi is prepared using carefully roasted coconut and spices to give a rich aroma and strong flavour. The coconut is roasted properly to remove moisture, which helps improve shelf life while retaining the authentic taste of traditional spicy coconut podi.
How is this different from fresh coconut chutney?
Fresh coconut chutney has a short shelf life and needs to be consumed immediately. Thengai Podi, on the other hand, is made by roasting coconut and spices, which allows it to be stored for a longer period while still giving a similar flavour when mixed with oil or ghee.
How do you ensure longer shelf life for this coconut podi?
We roast the coconut thoroughly along with the other ingredients to remove excess moisture before grinding. This careful roasting process helps maintain freshness and gives the podi a longer shelf life without the need for artificial preservatives.
What dishes can be prepared using Thengai Podi?
Thengai Podi is very versatile and can be used in many ways. It can be mixed with hot rice and ghee, served as sides with idli or dosa, sprinkled on vegetable curries, or it can be mixed with ghee to make a paste and use as a spread for sandwiches or rolls, giving a spicy and flavourful taste.
How should Thengai 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.
Why is roasting important in coconut podi?
Roasting removes moisture from the coconut and spices, which improves flavour and helps the podi stay fresh for a longer time. Proper roasting also gives the podi its characteristic aroma and rich taste.
