Local Sparrow's Idli Dosa Super Podi is a classic South Indian-style dry chutney powder made to be enjoyed with idli, dosa and other everyday Indian breakfasts. Mix it with ghee or oil for a traditional accompaniment, sprinkle it directly over a crisp dosa or soft idli, or use it as a savoury topping for uttapam and parathas.
Idli Podi, also known as Milagai Podi or Gunpowder Chutney, is a traditional South Indian dry chutney powder made using roasted lentils, chillies and spices. It's traditionally eaten with idli, dosa and rice.
The nickname "Gunpowder" comes from its bold flavour and the coarse texture of roasted lentils and spices. It contains no gunpowder. It's simply a playful name for this classic South Indian seasoning.
