Nalla Karam (Andhra Black Chilli Spice Powder)
Nalla Karam is a classic and fiery Andhra-style karam podi, known for its deep color, bold spice, and unique aroma. "Nalla" means black in Telugu, and this karam gets its name from the dark, roasted ingredients — especially dry red chilies and urad dal. It’s a staple in many Telugu homes and is loved as a spicy, aromatic accompaniment.
