Curry leaf podi is something that everyone should try at some point in their lifetime. Podi is a type of powder that is usually added to dosas or rice as a flavoring agent. There are many different types of podi that have their own unique flavor and health benefits. Curry leaves are a classic ingredient of Indian cuisine, that is prized for both its health benefits and its taste. Once you make this podi you will be able to use it in many different dishes.
Health Benefits
Curry leaves aren’t as popular as they are simply due to their prized aroma and powerful taste. They have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries due to their health benefits. Curry leaves have been known to facilitate weight loss. They also have been used to treat dysentery, constipation, and diarrhea. Curry leaves are also a natural remedy for motion sickness and nausea, which makes them an even better ingredient for cooking (it is hard to get sick after you eat a handful of curry leaves).
