Authentic Andhra Flavour in Every Spoonful

Kandi Podi holds a special place in Andhra food culture. A simple plate of hot rice mixed with Kandi Podi and a spoonful of homemade ghee is a timeless favourite in many Telugu households.

The speciality of this traditional podi lies in the combination of roasted toor dal and aromatic spices. The lentils provide a rich, nutty flavour, while the spices add warmth and a delicious savoury taste.

Our Kandi Podi is inspired by traditional Andhra recipes and prepared to bring the familiar taste of homemade food to your dining table.

The Goodness of Toor Dal

Toor dal, also known as pigeon pea or Kandi Pappu, is a staple ingredient in Indian cooking. It is widely used in preparing traditional dals, sambars and other delicious recipes.

Toor dal naturally provides plant-based protein, dietary fibre and important nutrients. It is a valued ingredient in balanced everyday meals.

By transforming this familiar lentil into a flavourful spice powder, Kandi Podi offers another delicious way to enjoy the taste of traditional Indian ingredients.

A Perfect Combination of Taste and Tradition

The beauty of Kandi Podi lies in its versatility. It can be enjoyed with different South Indian dishes and makes even a simple meal special.
