Idli Podi gunpowder

"Ever wondered how a simple idli suddenly becomes mind-blowingly addictive?  It’s all thanks to Idli Podi- also known as gunpowder- a fiery, nutty, and aromatic spice mix that’s South India’s best-kept secret for packing flavor into every bite. Just sprinkle it on hot idlis (or dosas), drizzle with ghee, and watch the magic happen. Why Idli Podi Is a Game-Changer Instant flavor boost: Turns bland rice cakes into a spice-packed delight. All-in-one side: Protein from dals and peanuts, heat from chilies, umami from asafoetida. No fridge needed: Shelf-stable for weeks—perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. Customizable heat: Adjust the red chili ratio to your spice tolerance."
