Garlic (Poondu) Podi, Traditional Spice Powder for idlies, dosas, rice & more

Poondu podi is one of the boldest and most flavourful podis in the South Indian kitchen. Made with roasted garlic, lentils, red chillies, and aromatic spices, it brings a deep, punchy flavour to even the simplest meal. The kind of podi that turns a plain idli or dosa into something you actually look forward to.

Our poondu podi is made in small batches, with whole spices roasted and ground fresh. No artificial colour, no flavour enhancers, no preservatives. Just garlic, lentils, and spice the way it was always meant to be.

What Makes It Different

• Bold roasted garlic base with a deep, layered flavour
• Balanced heat from red chillies without being overpowering
• Works on idli, dosa, uthappam, rice, and even chapati
• Small batch made, freshly ground for maximum aroma
• No artificial colour, no preservatives, no fillers

How to Use

Serve this garlic podi alongside idli or dosa with a drizzle of cold-pressed gingelly oil for the most authentic South Indian breakfast experience. Mix into hot rice with ghee for a quick, satisfying meal. For a complete podi collection in your kitchen, our paruppu podi and murungai idli podi pair naturally alongside this one.

No preservatives. No artificial colour. No added flavour.
