Kandi Karam Podi

• Wholesome, aromatic, and deeply satisfying — Andaal Home Foods’ Kandi Karam Podi is a staple of every Andhra kitchen. Made from roasted toor dal (kandipappu), red chillies, garlic, and hand-ground spices, this simple yet powerful podi turns even the humblest meal into a hearty feast.

  In traditional Telugu homes, this podi is often the first dish served with steaming rice and ghee — a meal that defines comfort and warmth. Its nutty flavor, mild spice, and crunchy texture make it an all-time favorite across generations.

  At Andaal Home Foods, we craft this timeless Andhra classic using Andaal’s original home recipe — slow roasting, hand grinding, and blending with care. The toor dal is roasted to a perfect golden hue until it releases its signature aroma. Dried red chillies, cumin, and garlic are then roasted separately before everything is coarsely ground to preserve flavor and texture.

  This method keeps the natural nutrients intact and ensures the taste feels fresh, earthy, and homemade. Every batch is made in small quantities, following the rhythm of traditional Andhra kitchens — no mass production, no compromise.

  Rich in protein, fiber, and antioxidants, Kandi Karam Podi not only adds taste but also brings balance to everyday meals. Whether you’re a working professional missing home-cooked food or a food lover exploring Andhra cuisine, this podi is your gateway to Telugu comfort and nostalgia.
