Add Sambar Podi to orderStorage & 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.
