About PODI life - South Indian Pantry
My name is Alak Nanda and this is my mom, Vasavi R! This is the story of how we, in true immigrant style, have come together to build the food company of our dreams. I was born in India and raised in the US. My mom's care packages always had PODIs and they helped me make easy meals all through college! Over the years, I have shared PODIs with friends from all around the world. It is our little dream to make this age-old, lesser-known South Indian pantry staple and shortcut accessible to everyone! As Michael Pollan says "Don't eat anything that a great grandma doesn't recognize as food". PODIs are highly nana-approved. We describe PODIs as dry-sauces in powder form. Unlike many spice blends, PODIs are ready-to-eat. Just sprinkle to flavor your food, use them as dry-rubs on meat, or mix with rice/cooked grains. Our PODIs are made of high-quality spices, lentils and herbs. No additives, no unnatural ingredients, and ALL THE FLAVA.
