Paruppu Podi is a flavorful, powdered spice mix originating from South Indian cuisine, particularly Tamil Nadu. Made from roasted lentils like toor dal and chana dal, along with dried red chilies, black pepper, cumin, and sometimes garlic, it is a versatile condiment served with steamed rice and ghee. Packed with plant-based protein and dietary fiber from lentils, Paruppu Podi supports digestion and provides essential nutrients. Its warming spices like black pepper and cumin can boost metabolism and enhance gut health. However, depending on preparation, it may contain added salt, which could be a concern for those monitoring sodium intake. Typically enjoyed in moderation, Paruppu Podi blends taste and nutrition, offering a satisfying way to incorporate dals and spices into everyday meals.
