Special Karivepaku Karam Podi

• Fragrant, flavorful, and filled with health — Andaal Home Foods’ Special Karivepaku Karam Podi is a timeless Andhra classic made from fresh curry leaves, roasted lentils, and hand-ground spices. It’s not just a spice mix; it’s a powerhouse of taste and nutrition that elevates every meal.

  In Telugu homes, karivepaku (curry leaves) are more than just a garnish — they are an essential part of the kitchen. Grandmothers would carefully pluck and sun-dry these vibrant green leaves, roast them with dals and red chillies, and grind them into a coarse powder. This podi wasn’t just for flavor — it was for health, vitality, and that unmistakable Andhra aroma.

  Inspired by Andaal’s own recipe, we’ve recreated this traditional favorite with care and precision. Fresh curry leaves are handpicked from local farms, gently sun-dried to preserve their nutrients, and roasted with urad dal, chana dal, red chillies, garlic, and cumin. Everything is then ground slowly to a rustic texture that locks in both aroma and nutrition.

  Curry leaves are rich in iron, calcium, and antioxidants. Combined with protein-rich lentils and roasted spices, this podi becomes the perfect daily companion — a natural flavor enhancer that also supports digestion, skin health, and immunity.

  At Andaal Home Foods, every batch is handmade in small quantities using cold-roasted ingredients to maintain freshness and balance. There are no preservatives, no artificial colors, and no flavor enhancers — only pure, honest ingredients handled with care.

  With every spoonful, you’ll taste the freshness of curry leaves, the earthiness of dals, and the warmth of home-roasted spices — a true celebration of Andhra culinary wisdom.
