Kakarakaya Podi (Bitter Gourd Powder)

Description

Enjoy the incredible health benefits of bitter gourd without the bitterness! Our Homemade Kakarakaya Podi is a unique, traditional Andhra spice blend designed to make this highly nutritious vegetable delicious. Fresh bitter gourd (Kakarakaya) is meticulously processed, roasted until crunchy, and then ground with a savory mix of lentils, red chilies, cumin, coriander, and a hint of tamarind and jaggery to perfectly balance the natural bitterness. The result is a savory, spicy, and slightly tangy powder that is addictive. This podi is a fantastic source of vitamins and is known to be beneficial for blood sugar. Made with care in small batches with no artificial colors or preservatives.

Serving Suggestion: This powder is best enjoyed mixed with hot steamed rice and a teaspoon of ghee (clarified butter). It also serves as a fantastic, healthy side dish with Idli, Dosa, or Upma.
