When I got these in the mail, obviously I opened and sampled them all right away. All so fresh, all so excellent! I'm salivating right now just thinking about them. Since then, I've gotten so much flavor inspiration for cooking (thanks in part to the suggestions on the cute postcards!) and snacking. My new favorite breakfast is uthappams with yoghurt and podis. Our new favorite way to eat our homegrown tomatoes is sliced, with different podis sprinkled on top. We keep the garlic and gunpowder ones on the table now to add extra-extra to our meals. They would be a fantastic gift, too!

Y'all, Podi.life has brought me so much comfort and joy over the past few months. I grew up eating podis and my mom, MIL, and grandma still send me care packages with podis every few months, it's our love language. I found podi.life a few months ago (one can never have enough podis am I right?) and bought a sampler pack with 9 podis. I went through all of them like an addict haha. All the podis were fresh, nutty, and delightful. It has been fun discovering new flavors and reacquainting with old ones. My top favorites would be nutty moong, peanut podi, mint podi, and curry leaf podi, crispy garlic, and sambar podi (so basically all of them haha) I mix them with rice and ghee/sesame oil, dosas, omelets, etc. I even traveled with the podis on my trip to Central America, made custom meals on the road, and sprinkled the podis on pretty much everything. Insert *chef's kiss*.

These podis are little packets of nostalgia and flavor and they pack a punch. 20/10 would recommend podis to everyone. Above all, I love this mom and daughter duo building this build from biz from the ground up. It's been a delight to see podi.life grow and do wonderful things.

How can I forget, love the adorable podi mascot PEEKU and the little cards that come with the podis.

We really enjoyed peanut, coconut & nutty moong of the bunch. Curry leaf was a little bitter but I could use it in the dishes to amp up the flavor. I'm usually not a big fan of gunpowder so it was kinda okay. It's best with dosa, idly & with steaming hot rice & ghee.
Comfort food & very fresh.

I am not finished with them yet I am about to order a second set for my mom! Amazing podis!

Got this set of podis as a gift and cooking has never been the same! A generous dose of crunchy peanut or curry leaf podi transforms my late night dinner of sautéed veggies into something far more flavorful. The spicy coconut podi is a great addition to my staple yellow dal (lentils). And the nutty moong podi adds that extra crunch to spicy potatoes cooked otherwise with minimal ingredients. I'm still figuring out how best to use the gunpowder podi, but I'm sure I'll soon find a recipe for that too.
Overall, I think this set is ideal for those new to podis - it helps you play around with the flavors and discover what works best with the food you love to cook or would love to start cooking.
