Kakarakaya Karampodi is for those who dare to love bold and bitter flavors. Bitter gourd (kakarakaya) is sun-dried and roasted before being blended with red chilies, dals, cumin, and garlic to create this uniquely flavorful podi. Though bitter, it’s incredibly healthy — known for managing blood sugar levels, aiding digestion, and detoxifying the body. Mixed with hot rice and ghee, or sprinkled on curd rice and poriyals, this karam adds a pleasantly sharp bite. It’s an acquired taste, but once you love it, there’s no turning back — it’s flavor with function.
