Milagu Kuzhambu Podi

Milagu Kuzhambu Podi (Pepper Kuzhambu) is a traditional South Indian curry mix. It pairs well with steamed rice, idlis, dosas, and more. We prepare it using the finest black pepper and hand-picked ingredients. This podi brings bold flavour in a simple, authentic way.

The traditional style Pepper Kulambu

Milagu Kuzhambu, one among the traditional gravy varieties in the South, comes with the goodness of the King of Spices- Pepper. Pepper has strong medicinal properties. People often use it to treat cold and cough. In the olden days, elder women in the family made this kuzhambu at home. In other words, they prepared it both as a remedy and also as a tasty gravy to go with meals.

Ingredients with quality uncompromised 

To give the perfect tanginess, we use the best quality Tamarind and its syrup, while making the Podi. To add spice to the entire mix, we ensure to use the premium quality Chilly and Coriander seeds.Prepared carefully by following the treasured recipe at the very own Mylapore Ganapathy’s, every step is taken with precision.
