Fast-paced lives, no time to cook elaborate meals, need to eat tasty, yet no compromise on health.
If you resonate with these realities, here are SIX Magic Powders (we call them "podis" meaning powder in the South) that are ideal for your situation.
These now come from Bio Basics, but in reality come from our grandparents and their grandparents.
It is tradition wrapped into convenience. Just for you.
No new fad this. No hanky panky here. Time-tested for centuries.
So here they are :
1. Idli Podi aka molaga podi, gunpowder! Mix it with organic cold-pressed sesame oil, or coconut-oil, and goes beautifully with Idli, Dosai and Uthappam. A bit coarse to give you that bite.
2. Paruppu Podi aka Dal Powder combines dals to give you a smooth powder, best mixed with hot rice and ghee to start your meal. Relatively smooth and so it just blends with the rice.
3. Karivepalai Podi: Curry leaves with combination of dals. If you don't like to eat the curry leaves from your dishes, you could eat this with again hot rice and ghee. Make Karivepalai Rice (like Tamarind or Lemon Rice)
4. Peanut podi: Nutritious groundnuts in a spiced mix, goes as a nice side with a rice meal. We love it with steamed French beans!
5. Flax Seed podi: A superfood in an easy to use powder, full of all those Omegas people rave about!
6. Moringa Leaf Chutney podi: Yet another super food that can iron you up.
All these podis can be mixed with Rice and Ghee, sprinkle them on idlis or dosais. They can add color to the otherwise bland Millet Rices. They can be added to salads of any kind. And each of them can be made into a variety rice!
And what's more, they are made from organic ingredients!
Home-made and hand-made, not factory produced.
In small batches by a face with a name, not in a faceless nameless mass-production unit.
So it is tradition, convenience, versatility & health ground together just for you!
Try them, if you have not already.
