Ah, senagapappu putnala karam podi 😋—classic Telugu comfort food stuff.

It’s a dry chutney powder (karam podi) made mainly from:

Senagapappu = roasted chana dal (putnala pappu)
Endu mirapakayalu (dried red chillies)
Garlic (optional but very common)
Jeera, dhaniyalu (small amounts)
Salt
Sometimes a pinch of hing

What it’s like

Nutty, spicy, and slightly smoky
Not sour (no tamarind), so it’s mild on the stomach
Texture is coarse to fine, depending on how it’s ground
