Review: Quick and great addition for your flavourful breakfast..spice is on point - The idli podi is definitely going to be the one you will be looking to add to your breakfast. It contains small tiny bits of coarsely grinded urad and chana dal with other spices..so it's texture is in middle between fine powder and crunchy bits ..these bits are good to chew too..to taste the full flavour of it just add water and you got good fresh chutney and you can eat it like podi too..but the chutney with popu like in South Indian style gives you fulfilling breakfast..so it's a good buy but the price is little on expensive side ₹295 for 250g..either price can be decreased or quantity can be increased with same taste..this podi will come in handy for hostlers and who wants breakfast in a jiffy..so try once..u may like it🙂 Edit: it becomes boring taste after 5 to 7 times of using but its not bad for dosas and punugus..not good for idlis tho as it's not adding any flavourful taste for plain idlis..can try once or not🧐
