My mom is an amazing cook. Everything we make at home is inspired by our age-old ancestral recipes that she learned from grandmother. She is very specific with the ingredients she uses. She is particularly good with the podis we make for side dishes and masala purposes. When we have guests and relatives come over, they’d fall in love with the food. They’d specially ask mom for the podis she uses in the food. It’s a very happy moment for my mom. We’d pack the podis and give them when they leave. 

One of the most common feedback that we’ve received is they find the podi very fresh, authentic, and in particular, they were reminded of their mom and their upbringing at their grandmother’s home.If at all I’ve learned anything from eating my mother’s food, the ingredients you use in your recipes are everything!!  In today’s busy world, it’s sad that staying away from our homes is almost necessary.  I remember missing her food when I was completing my studies abroad.  We have neither time nor patience to make our food taste magical, just like home.

So, I teamed up with my mother to make traditional Indian podis from our age-old grandmother recipes available to everyone. Our podis are prepared with care and contain the essence of my mother’s love. I’m willing to share it with you only because I believe that podis can add a lot to a dish and our goal is to make you experience that every day.
