Storage & serving tips

  • Always use a dry spoon — moisture is the only thing that spoils a good podi.
  • Store in an airtight jar away from the stove; podis and masalas are at their best within 4 months, the health mixes within 1 month.
  • Sesame oil for idli and dosa, ghee for rice — that is the traditional pairing.
  • A pinch of podi in curd rice or on buttered toast works surprisingly well.
