The "OG" Curry Leaf Podi

Fragrant. Rich. Garlicky. Introducing The OG Curry Leaf Podi — a signature from the Roasted Rituals series by The Grain Story.

This podi is a powerhouse of flavor, built on the bold, aromatic foundation of fresh Curry Leaves and the savory depth of Garlic. We slow roast rich Chana Dal and Urad Dal with whole coriander and cumin seeds, intensifying their earthy aroma. The addition of Tamarind and a hint of Turmeric elevates this beyond a simple spice mix, creating a complex, wholesome, and addictive instant chutney powder.

It’s a tribute to robust South Indian home cooking—balanced, deeply satisfying, and designed to add soul to every bite.

Made from:

• Curry Leaves & Garlic for a signature, savory-aromatic punch
• Chana Dal & Urad Dal (lentils) for a rich, protein-packed base.
• Coriander Seeds, Cumin & Dry Chillies for complexity and warmth.
• Tamarind & Turmeric to add a subtle tang and beautiful color.
• Hing (Asafoetida) & Salt to balance and uplift.
• No preservatives. No fillers. Just honest ingredients, roasted to perfection.

How to Use:
