Local Sparrow Super Podi is a range of traditional Indian dry chutney powders made using roasted lentils, spices and thoughtfully selected ingredients. They are versatile, shelf-stable seasoning blends for everyday meals.

Podi means powder in several South Indian languages and refers to dry blends eaten with idli, dosa and rice.

Mix with hot rice and ghee or sprinkle over idli, dosa, parathas, curd, salads, sabzis, eggs, popcorn, soups and millet bowls.

It can also be used in marinades or chilli oils or in salad dressings to improve flavour and nutrition.
