Podi is a southern Indian spice powder made with a blend of different lentils and spices. The recipe varies from region to region and from family to family. When I visited my friend Jayashree, she made this gorgeous potato dish. Making your own podi is worth the effort. This podi potatoes recipe is great served with naan, chapatti or some bread – it’s also amazing in a wrap or toastie, with chutney and salad on the side.
