What it is

Thoothuvalai is a thorny climbing plant with small purple flowers, and its leaves go into rasam, thuvaiyal and dosai in Tamil homes. The thorns make it fiddly to prepare, which is why a ready mix like this is handy.

It is used like a podi: mixed into hot rice with a spoon of oil or ghee. The taste is peppery and a little bitter, green rather than chilli-hot. Choosing a podi for rice? Thoothuvalai mix for peppery and green, paruppu podi for mild and nutty, idli chilli powder for heat.

Tip: Make a well in the rice, add the oil first, then the podi, and mix with your fingers. It coats every grain that way.

Goes well with: Idhayam Gingelly (Sesame) Oil, Sri Durga Manathakkali Vathal, Heera Ponni Boiled Rice
