While India is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines, South Indian cuisine is loved and enjoyed by the whole country. Dishes like Idli, Dosa, and Vada usually find themselves among the favourites of people, regardless of the State. Unveiling Podis, from the kitchens of South India. It is a beloved South Indian classic and a blended spice that makes dishes yummier and more aromatic, and comes in many flavours. Salt.Pepper.Podi has taken it on themselves to make Podi a staple in all Indian kitchens, just like salt and pepper.
Vasantha Krishnamoorthy’s innovative recipes and cooking expertise were the backbone of the brand. After her daughter Sangeetha, a South Indian, married into a Marwari family, her husband Manoj Kumar Jain quickly realised the potential of her family recipes, when his Marwari family fell in love with the South Indian flavours. He urged Sangeetha and his mother-in-law to start sharing a piece of their culture and introduce people to South Indian delicacies beyond the mainstream foods they already know. Thus, the brand was born.
Podi releases a warm and earthy flavour into dishes, creating a complex flavour profile that brings unique, rich flavours to plain dishes. The brand leans into the versatility of Podi which can be used with idli, dosa, sambar, rasam, rice, daal, any curry, sandwich, pasta and much more; they understand that Podis can be used beyond South Indian cuisine. People from different States who have tried and tested their scrumptious Podi, have made it a staple in their kitchens.
Apart from the flavour, it is rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, and has no palm oil, no GMO and no artificial flavours or colours whatsoever. Keeping tradition in mind, they launched in beautifully packed tins which are very Indian in nature and then after tremendous demand, came out with refill packs for the tins. It offers an exquisite assortment of Podis. Amongst others, they currently have Carnival Curry Podi, Twisty Til Podi, Incredible Idli Podi, Rich Rasam Podi, Soulful Sambar Podi, and many more – some of these are ready-to-eat and some of them are for preparation.
