I planned to make a simple basic sundal but some time back, one of my friends shared a Karamadhu podi recipe(the Iyengar style curry powder) with me and also shared his mom’s recipe of the same. Though I got the recipe some time back, I didn’t try it out. Suddenly after soaking the karamani sundal the idea of using the karamadhu podi in the sundal. We both discussed a few other options of using the powder too. (see notes section) I am not a great fan of karamani, as even during my childhood days, whenever karamani sundal is made during navaratri, I will get so upset. I never like karamani, but the red one was still ok compared to the lobia beans. This podi was too flavourful and it took the lame karamani to a different level. Try this out with any variety of sundal and I am sure you will enjoy it.
