Bone-Friendly Choice
Often picked for mineral-rich traditional meals.
Sesame Powder at Iyarkai Pantry is made from dry-roasted white sesame seeds ground with red chillies, asafoetida, urad dal and curry leaves — the traditional Tamil ellu sadam mix eaten with hot rice and gingelly oil. Sesame is one of the highest plant sources of calcium in South Indian cooking, and ellu sadam is traditionally served as a nutritive food, particularly during Karthigai Deepam. The powder has a toasty, slightly nutty aroma with a gentle heat that builds slowly. A spoonful mixed into hot rice with cold-pressed gingelly oil is one of the simplest, most satisfying Tamil meals. The 100g pack makes approximately 8–12 servings. No artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. Ground fresh in small batches at Iyarkai Pantry. Store airtight — sesame powder can turn rancid quickly if exposed to heat or moisture.
