About Milagai podi

Milagai Podi, often referred to as "gunpowder," is a flavorful South Indian condiment made from roasted lentils, dried red chilies, sesame seeds, and spices like cumin and asafoetida. Traditionally enjoyed with idli or dosa, this dry spice blend is mixed with oil or ghee for a rich taste. Packed with protein from lentils and healthy fats from sesame seeds, it offers nutritional benefits like aiding digestion and providing essential minerals such as magnesium and iron. However, due to the presence of chilies and salt, it can be spicy and high in sodium, so moderation is key, especially for individuals with dietary sensitivities. Milagai Podi exemplifies the bold and distinctive flavors of Indian cuisine while balancing taste and health.
