Padma Lakshmi's Gunpowder (Diaspora Co.)
Crafted alongside culinary icon Padma Lakshmi, this gunpowder spice blend combines dry-roasted lentils with aromatic spices for maximum flavor impact.
Best activated with a touch of oil or ghee, it transforms roasted vegetables, marinades, and grilled cheese into something special. Or go traditional and pair it with a crispy dosa.
Every sprinkle delivers that perfect savory-nutty punch that'll make your taste buds sit up and take notice.
Unlock the podi's flavor with fat.
Fat brings gunpowder podi’s roasty-toasty flavor to life—mix with ghee, untoasted sesame oil, melted butter, or even a mild extra virgin olive oil.
Dosa and idlis’ BFF.
Sprinkle over ghee roast dosas as they are cooking or mix with ghee and serve with idlis for dipping.
Add to salads and grain bowls.
Whisk into dressings or sprinkle on top of salads and grain bowls for texture, crunch, and spicy, nutty flavor.
Sprinkle into sandwiches.
Add to a grilled cheese, California-style veggie sandwich with hummus, or use it to amp up a good ol’ turkey club.
