If you’re a fan of South Indian cuisine, you’ve likely savored the distinctive taste of gunpowder chutney. Known as molagai podi or molaga podi, this beloved condiment has been a staple of South Indian kitchens for centuries. Our authentic gunpowder chutney recipe honors this rich heritage, delivering layers of flavor that will elevate any meal.

Originating in the dry regions of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, this chutney was crafted by resourceful homemakers who extended the life of lentils by drying and grinding them into a fine powder. To this base, they added a blend of locally grown spices and herbs, including mustard seeds, cumin, coriander, and curry leaves, creating a harmonious balance of earthy and aromatic flavors.

Our authentic gunpowder chutney powder captures the essence of this timeless staple. Jain & Iyer uses premium ingredients sourced from local farms, packing each box with the aromatic richness of roasted lentils, spices, and herbs. Every spoonful offers the authentic taste of South India.

Embrace the culinary heritage of this ancient blend and add a memorable burst of flavor to your meals with Jain & Iyer’s molagai podi, a taste tradition perfected.
