Tamarind Leaf Super Podi
Local Sparrow's Tamarind Leaf Super Podi brings the distinctive tang and freshness of tender tamarind leaves into a roasted, savoury South Indian-style podi. It's traditionally delicious with hot rice and ghee, but that's only the beginning. Sprinkle this tamarind leaf podi over idli, dosa, uttapam or parathas, mix it into curd or yoghurt, or stir it through dal, khichdi and rice. Its tangy, savoury character also works well with roasted vegetables, sabzis, salads and millet bowls. Try it as a finishing seasoning for eggs, toast or sandwiches when you want something a little unexpected. A lesser-known Indian leaf, turned into an everyday dry chutney you don't need a recipe for.
