Questions people ask
What is Idly Karam?
Idly karam, also called idli podi, milagai podi or gunpowder, is a dry chutney powder of roasted dals, red chillies and spices. Ours is Guntur style: red chilli, coriander seeds, toor dal, chana dal, urad dal, cumin, curry leaves, tamarind and salt, all dry-roasted with no added oil.
Why is idli podi called gunpowder?
Because it is a coarse, fiery powder that goes off like a small burst of flavour on the tongue. The name stuck in South Indian homes and restaurants.
How spicy is Guntur Idly Karam?
Properly spicy. We use Guntur Sannam chilli for heat and Warangal chilli for colour. If you prefer it milder, try our Putnala Podi.
Should I mix idli podi with ghee or sesame oil?
Both are right. Make a small well in the podi and pour in warm ghee for a rich, rounded taste, or sesame oil for the nutty, traditional one.
What else can I use Idly Karam on?
Podi idli, podi dosa, hot rice with ghee, upma, and even roasted vegetables or buttered toast.
What is the difference between Idly Karam and Putnala Podi?
Idly Karam is a mix of several dals with chilli, coriander and tamarind, so it is spicier and more layered. Putnala Podi is built on roasted gram, so it is milder and nuttier.
How do I store Idly Karam?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place and always use a dry spoon. Check the best-before date on the pack.

Coriander Seeds

Tandur Toor Dal is known for its low moisture and even roasting quality, giving a sweet, earthy base flavor.
Cumin (Jeera)
Unjha, Gujarat
Rich in volatile oils, these cumin seeds release a deep earthy aroma when roasted, enhancing flavor and aiding digestion.
Curry Leaves
Local Farms, Hyderabad
Sourced fresh from nearby farms, these leaves are shade-dried to preserve their intense aroma and natural oils.
