Paruppu Podi, Lentil Spice Powder for rice, dosa, idly & more

Paruppu podi is one of those South Indian kitchen staples that makes every meal feel complete. A fragrant, roasted lentil spice powder made with toor dal, red chillies, curry leaves, pepper, cumin, garlic, and asafoetida, it is the kind of podi that works on everything from plain rice to idli, dosa, and even chapati. Mix it with cold-pressed gingelly oil or ghee and it becomes a meal in itself.

Our paruppu podi is made the traditional way, with whole spices dry-roasted and ground fresh in small batches. No fillers, no artificial colour, no flavour enhancers. Just the clean, nutty warmth of roasted lentils and spices the way it has always been made at home.

What Makes It Different

• Roasted toor dal base for a rich, nutty depth of flavour
• Balanced spice blend with pepper, cumin, garlic, and asafoetida
• Versatile enough for rice, idli, dosa, chapati, and upma
• No artificial colour, no preservatives, no fillers

How to Use

Sprinkle paruppu podi over hot rice with a spoon of ghee or gingelly oil for a quick, satisfying meal. Serve alongside idli or dosa as a dry chutney substitute. Works well as a dry rub on roasted vegetables too. If you enjoy traditional South Indian podis, our poondu podi and murungai idli podi are equally versatile additions to your kitchen.

No preservatives. No artificial colour. No added flavour.
