Podulu: Exploring the Quintessential Spice Powders of Telugu Kitchens

In Telugu kitchens, Podulu (spice powders) are a celebration of flavor and tradition. These handcrafted blends are everyday essentials that elevate simple meals. At Sailaw’s Kitchen, we preserve the magic of these age-old recipes, delivering authentic taste in every spoonful.

Here are some must-have Podulu in any Telugu home:

• Palli Podi: Made with roasted peanuts and spices, it adds nutty richness to rice, dosa, or idli.
• Ulli Karam: A spicy, garlicky onion-based podi that’s perfect with hot rice and a dollop of ghee.
• Jeedi Pappu Karam: This luxurious blend of roasted cashews and spices brings creamy heat and crunch—ideal for both rice and roti.
• Gongura Karam Podi: Made from sun-dried gongura leaves and chilies, this tangy and spicy podi is a signature taste of Andhra cuisine.
• Kakarakaya Karam Podi: A unique bitter gourd-based blend that pairs earthy bitterness with bold spice—delicious with rice or side dishes.

Each podi is roasted and ground in small batches to preserve aroma, texture, and flavor—just like it’s done at home.

Podulu are not limited to rice:

• Use Ulli Karam in curries for an extra kick
• Add Gongura Podi to spice up stir-fries
• Mix Palli Podi with curd for a quick dip
• Sprinkle Jeedi Pappu Karam on salads for crunch
