This podi/powder is a boon to have at home. You can quickly saute the available veggies at home, add salt to taste, then add 1-2 tsps of this powder. A curry with an amazing aroma is ready for you.
This powder can be used to make stuffed egg plants and stuffed okra.
Slightly toast some cinnamon powder , add to this, and you can use it to make vegetable baath.
Can be sprinkled over sundals too! This powder certainly improves the flavor of bland legumes, when you make sundals!!!
