Balanced Pantry Pick
Chosen by customers looking for millet or traditional grain options.
Neem Flower Idli Podi is made from sun-dried veppampoo (neem blossoms) blended with roasted urad dal, red chillies and asafoetida — a seasonal, bitter-toned podi with deep roots in Tamil food medicine. Neem flowers are harvested once a year in spring and are eaten during Ugadi and Tamil New Year as a symbolic first food of the season, representing the acceptance of life's bitter experiences alongside the sweet. In podi form, the bitter note is present but mild — more of a finish than a dominant flavour — and is considered beneficial for liver and digestive health in traditional Tamil practice. The 100g pack makes 15–20 servings. Mrs. Esakkiammal prepares this in limited batches at Iyarkai Pantry. No preservatives, artificial flavours or colours. A traditional choice, best for customers already familiar with neem flower preparations.
