The "OG" Amma's Podi

Aromatic. Comforting. Home. Introducing The OG Amma's Kerala Podi — a deeply personal signature from the Roasted Rituals series by The Grain Story.

This podi is a cherished family recipe, a staple from Kerala homes. It is wonderfully mild and built on a highly aromatic, hearty foundation of golden-roasted Urad Dal, Chana Dal, and Rice.
