velluli Karam Podi

• Bold, spicy, and bursting with the irresistible aroma of roasted garlic — Andaal Home Foods’ Vellulli Karam Podi is a traditional Andhra spice blend that brings instant warmth and flavor to every meal. Handcrafted from sun-dried garlic, roasted lentils, and red chillies, this fiery powder is one of the most beloved staples in Telugu homes.

  In every Andhra kitchen, “Vellulli Karam” is more than just a condiment — it’s a symbol of home. The smell of roasted garlic and chillies wafting through the air is enough to make anyone’s mouth water. Inspired by Andaal’s family recipe, we’ve preserved this age-old art — slow roasting, hand grinding, and blending just the right proportions of spice and aroma to recreate the magic of homemade podi.

  Fresh garlic cloves are peeled and sun-dried, then lightly roasted to release their deep, nutty flavor. Along with urad dal, chana dal, cumin, and red chillies, they’re ground coarsely to create a podi that’s fiery yet fragrant. The natural oils from garlic blend beautifully with roasted spices, giving the powder its iconic deep-red color and rich taste.

  Andaal Home Foods’ Vellulli Karam Podi is completely natural — free from preservatives, MSG, or food colors. It’s made in small batches using traditional hand-roasting methods that enhance the aroma and ensure freshness in every spoon.

  This is Andhra’s flavor in its purest form — bold, authentic, and made with love. Whether you mix it with rice, sprinkle it on idli, or pair it with ghee and dosa, every bite carries the soulful taste of Telugu tradition.
