Kothimeera Podi – Fresh Coriander Leaves Spice Powder

Ingredients:- Coriander (Kothimeera), Roasted Chilli, Tamarind, Cumin (Jeera), Coriander (Dhaniyalu), Salt, Turmeric powder, Groundnut Oil

Kothimeera Podi, called Kothamalli Podi in Tamil Nadu, is a traditional chutney powder from Andhra Pradesh that is savoured as Modati Mudda, the cherished first course of a Telugu rice meal, mixed with hot rice and a generous drizzle of ghee. In Telugu, Kothimeera (కొత్తిమీర) means fresh coriander leaves, and this dry spice powder is the shelf-stable, intensely flavourful version of the beloved Kothimeera Pachadi that Andhra and Telangana home kitchens have relied on for generations.

Kothimeera Karam Podi is a traditional South Indian spice powder prepared using fresh coriander leaves and aromatic spices, popular in Telugu households for its earthy aroma, spicy taste, and nutritional benefits, with coriander leaves being rich in antioxidants and known to improve digestion. At GSR Foods, our Kothimeera Podi is crafted with fresh Coriander Leaves (Kothimeera), Roasted Chilli, Tamarind (Chintapandu), Cumin (Jeera), Coriander Seeds (Dhaniyalu), Turmeric Powder (Pasupu), Salt, and Groundnut Oil, carefully roasted on a low flame to eliminate all moisture from the fresh leaves before grinding to a beautifully coarse, flavour-packed powder. A typical Andhra meal is incomplete without a podi of some kind, and Kothimeera Podi is widely consumed across the Guntur region of the state, usually mixed with hot rice and ghee. Made in small homemade batches with absolutely no artificial preservatives, our Kothimeera Podi delivers the fresh, herby, and spicy character of authentic Andhra cooking straight to your table across South India and beyond.
