At The Manduva Project, we believe in preserving the essence of traditional Andhra flavors with a modern twist. One of our most cherished creations is our Freshly Made Coconut Chilli Podi Sprinkle, crafted using only the finest, freshly harvested coconuts from the lush outskirts of Andhra Pradesh. This spice blend is a harmonious mix of authentic ingredients and the wholesome taste of farm-fresh coconuts, enhanced by the boldness of chili, bringing a touch of Andhra's culinary charm straight to your kitchen.
The Freshness You Can Taste
Our Coconut Chilli Podi Sprinkle stands out for its simplicity, freshness, and fiery kick. Each batch begins with locally sourced coconuts, harvested from farms nestled in the picturesque regions surrounding Andhra's coastal areas. These coconuts are carefully handpicked to ensure only the freshest and most flavorful coconuts are used. The natural sweetness of the coconut, combined with the heat of chili, creates a taste experience that is bold, satisfying, and versatile.
The Importance of Copra
The dried coconut meat, known as copra, is essential in creating products like coconut oil, widely used in baking and confectionery. At The Manduva Project, we ensure our coconut is processed meticulously, similar to the techniques used to produce desiccated coconut for the chocolate and confectionery industry. The coconut meat is carefully dried to ensure the perfect texture and long shelf life, keeping the moisture content well below the critical 5%, ensuring our Coconut Chilli Podi Sprinkle remains fresh and flavorful for extended periods.
How Is It Made?
Our Coconut Chilli Podi Sprinkle follows a traditional process passed down through generations. After harvesting, the coconuts are grated and gently toasted to release their natural oils and enhance their flavor. Like desiccated coconut used in confectionery, our coconuts undergo a careful drying process, ensuring moisture content remains under 4%, preserving the coconut's rich flavor and natural aroma over time.
After drying, the coconut goes through a sieving process to ensure the perfect texture for the Coconut Chilli Podi Sprinkle. We create different grades of fineness, similar to the confectionery industry’s use of extra fine, fine, medium, and coarse desiccated coconut. The addition of chili elevates the podi, providing a spicy, bold flavor that complements a variety of dishes, from soft idlis to crispy dosas.
Ingredients That Make It Special
Our Manduva Freshly Made Coconut Chilli Podi Sprinkle is created using a perfect balance of natural ingredients to ensure flavor and nutrition:
- Dry Coconut: Adds rich, nutty flavor and texture.
- Garlic: A touch of pungency and aroma that complements the coconut and chili perfectly.
- Jeera (Cumin): Provides an earthy flavor and aids digestion.
- Jaggery: Adds a subtle sweetness to balance the heat of the chili.
- Channa Dal: Adds crunch and protein, making it more wholesome.
- Chili: Delivers a fiery kick that elevates the dish, providing warmth and depth of flavor.
- Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the podi.
Each ingredient is carefully selected and measured to create a blend that is flavorful, nutritious, and true to Andhra’s culinary traditions.
