Kootu Pudi

Kootu Pudi is a traditional Tamil spice blend specifically formulated for making Kootu - the wholesome lentil and vegetable curry that's an integral part of South Indian meals. Unlike other spice powders, Kootu Pudi contains a unique combination of multiple lentils that not only provide flavor but also contribute protein and natural thickening to create the perfect kootu consistency. The word "Kootu" means "to add" or "combine" in Tamil, reflecting how this dish beautifully combines vegetables with lentils for complete nutrition.
