Karapundi – Traditional South Indian Spiced Powder
Karapundi is a classic South Indian condiment made from a blend of roasted lentils, spices, and red chilies. This aromatic spice powder is traditionally prepared by roasting ingredients such as urad dal, chana dal, dried red chilies, sesame seeds, curry leaves, and asafoetida, then grinding them into a coarse, flavorful powder.
Known for its bold, spicy flavor and crunchy texture, Karapundi is commonly used as a dry condiment or mixed with hot rice and ghee, offering a quick and delicious meal. It is an essential pantry staple in many Tamil households and is especially popular during festivals and daily meals.
Our Karapundi is crafted using natural ingredients without any artificial colors, preservatives, or palm oil, preserving the authentic taste and aroma of traditional homemade recipes.
