Garlic Paruppu podi
Paruppu podi or Kalathu podi is the one which amma makes regularly at home. We all love it especially my brother is a big fan of amma’s Paruppu podi. We have never made garlic paruppu podi. But when I want to post a recipe with an ingredient starting with G, I chose garlic as the ingredient since it has lot of health benefits. There are so many options to make with garlic but this paruppu podi came into my mind. when I was talking with my perima, once she has told me about this paruppu podi. Finally I decided to make garlic paruppu podi which is my perima’s recipe. Thank you Bagyam perima for the recipe.

What a lovely recipe! Give me some hot steamed rice, a bit of ghee and a little of this garlic podi any day, and I’ll be in heaven. 🙂 This is one of our all time favourites at home.
Thank you Priya
Garlic always add a masth zing to anything added… totally love this podi with some ghee and rice…
Thank you so much
I can almost imagine the aroma and taste of this podi. I like that, like me, you make podis in small quantities. I do this too because podis are best eaten fresh.
Yes Aruna, I always make these in small quantities for the same reason… Thank you
Fresh batch of podis are such a life saviour ! and these are so flavourful whether with rice or dosa / Idli ! good one…
That’s true, kalyani.. I loved it with dosai too apart from mixing it with rice…
Podi’s look delicious and healthy with garlic as the main ingredient. I love such podi’s specially when you need that extra kick in your food on the side.
Thank you Renu…
Garlic podi looks so flavourful and delicious. It definitely gives extra flavour and taste to bland dishes. Superb share.
Thank you Sujatha
I usually bring podi powder from India.. love it with idli and dosa.. this one looks easy to make and follow. Will definitely try some! Btw what is roasted gram dhal in hindi? I thought gram dhal was same as chana dal but you have that as a separate ingredient.. so wondering which one is this?
Hi Ashima yeah it’s so easy to make. Gram dhal and channa dhal are same but gram dhal is different from roasted gram dhal. We call roasted gram dhal as pottukadalai in Tamil. When I searched in google it says pottukadalai is called as bhuna channa in Hindi.
Garlic elevates the taste in podis Niranjana. I love to stock 2 varieties in my fridge as they come handy when we are back from travel and the refrigerator is empty. Some Podi, hot rice and ghee is ultimate comfort food. Co-incidence – My Mums nick name is Bagyam too. ha ha!
Indeed it is handy and always we too make small batches of two or three varities of podi at home. Thank you..
I love all kinds of podis.. They taste yummm with plain rice and ghee. apart from doasas and idlis.
Yeah Shoba ji…
As I was reading the ingredients, my mouth was literally watering. I love all sorts of podi masalas. I must admit didn’t know much about them till I got introduced to the variety of podi by my South Indian neighbor. I too keep some in my fridge as it makes a good addition to plain rice, plain paratha.
Thank you so much Mayuri ji…Nice to know that you have a liking to podis…Yes we make variety of podis and this has a nice flavour…
Andhra is famous for these yummy powders! I love them too! Garlic sounds like a wonderful flavor to add to any podi! Awesome and mouthwatering dear <3 My favorite is to enjoy with dosas and idlis!
Thank you Vanitha
My mom-in-law used to make different varieties of podis at home, but I never made any podi myself! Your garlic podi looks awesome. I should give it a try sometime! 🙂
Thank you jolly… Do try it and give me your feedback…
This sounds an interesting recipe and definitely adding garlic to chutney powers or podi adds flavor to it.I love to have these pods with idlis.
Nice paarul… This is different from chutney powder. We make paruppu podi Or kalathu podi which is mainly used to mix with rice and a dollop of ghee. And yeah this garlic podi can be used in both the ways as an accompaniment for idli dosai and can be mixed with rice.
This garlic podi sounds so aromatic ! Would love to pair it with my dal chawal with ghee.
Thank you poonam
I have a garlic lover in the house so this will be welcomed with happiness. I will follow your recipe as all the parippupodi I make is without garlic
Thank you Seema… I too make Paruppu podi without garlic. This one I learnt from my aunt.
I love podis and always keep a batch of it in my fridge..though store-bought 😉 !! would love to make someday. truly a saviour when one wants to go easy on making food. your recipe with garlic sounds so flavourful.
Thank you Swathi
Much flavorful this Garlic paruppu podi looks !!! I would love to try my hand for this sometime surely
Thank you Sasmita… Do try & let me know…
What a lovely poodi with garlic! I can imagine the taste and can’t wait to try this. I am sure it must be tastes great with rice, idli or dosai 🙂
