“Podi” means powder and we have a ton of podis in India. Some podis like this one can be mixed with rice and eaten for a simple lunch or dinner. You can add a bit of ghee or oil to enhance the taste further. Since these can be stored in air tight containers for a long time, I usually make these in bulk. Apart from mixing with rice, I also add a couple of tsp of this powder to potato fry along with ginger. If you do not have fresh curry leaves, this is a good alternative. Podi rice with kootu is my comfort food
