The "OG" Molagai Podi

Fiery. Nutty. Bold. Introducing The OG Molagai Podi — a signature from the Roasted Rituals series by The Grain Story.

This is the quintessential South Indian podi, elevated. We achieve a deep, addictive savory profile by blending protein-rich lentils (Urad, Chana, and Toor Dal) with two types of sesame seeds (white and black) for an incredible nutty texture and richness. The pungent garlic and vibrant dry red chillies deliver the classic, fiery kick Molagai Podi is famous for. Perfectly balanced, intensely flavorful, and unapologetically bold.

Made from:

• Vibrant Dry Red Chillies for the traditional, fiery spice level
• Urad, Chana, and Toor Dal (lentils) for a rich, hearty, protein base.
• White & Black Sesame Seeds for an exceptional nutty crunch and flavor depth.
• Garlic for a savory, aromatic punch.
• Hing (Asafoetida) & Salt to balance and uplift.
• No preservatives. No fillers. Just honest ingredients, roasted to perfection.
