Karepaaku Podi-Curry leaves powder is an easy way of including curry leaves in your diet.It is also a great way of using extra curry leaves which may darken after a while.You can eat this with loads of ghee or oil if vegan and rice.It is one of the initial courses in a standard Telugu/Kannada meal.Both these states share a border and also share many recipes.South Indian cooking is mostly gluten-free and involves lots of lentils.

South Indian cuisine is a potpourri of flavors.Most thali menus follow a routine.The main course begins with serving chutney and dry powders along with rice after crispies and fried papad.This is followed by dry curries and dal,rasam and sambhar.The meal usually ends with a sweet and curd rice.

You can also use this powder to give a taste to plain dosa while cooking.

Any bland vegetable  also gets a spicy twist when you eat this powder along with it. You can make it as spicy as you want or as tangy as you can by adjusting the spice.
