Karivepaku Podi, also known as Curry Leaves Powder or Curry Leaf Chutney Powder, is a traditional condiment from Andhra cuisine, made with fresh curry leaves, lentils, and spices, and is eaten mixed together with hot steamed rice and ghee or served on the side with curd rice, idli, dosa, upma, and pongal. Known across South India as Karuveppilai Podi in Tamil, Karibevu Chutney Pudi in Kannada, and Kadi Patta Podi in Hindi, this beloved spice powder holds a uniquely special place in Telugu kitchens across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where it is written as కారివేపాకు పొడి and has been a daily meal staple for generations.

In Ayurveda, curry leaves are believed to have numerous medicinal properties including anti-diabetic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic qualities, and are rich in Vitamins A, B, C, and B2 as well as iron and calcium.
