#Rainbowweek2 - 'Podi' which literally translates to powder is a mix of ground spices and lentils, that is found in abundance in the cuisines of south India. So in this recipe, I have used Andhra special Nalla Karam Podi to make this yummy mutton curry.

You can go in for any store-bought or homemade podi of your choice. It goes best with plain steamed rice, plain biryani, pulao, naan, tandoori roti, roomali roti, etc. You may also relish with dosa, appam or idiyappam.
