Beetroot Podi Roti Roll with Perugu Dip
A leftover roti has never worked harder than this. Spread thick perugu over the surface, dust it generously with Earthy Beetroot Podi — that slightly sweet, mildly spiced powder with the warm colour of sun-dried beetroot — roll it up, and you have a snack that needs nothing else. The podi does all the seasoning work: the dals give it body, the coconut a quiet richness, and the beetroot that distinctive warmth kids reach for without being told.
Prep: 5 min | Cook: 0 min | Serves: 2 | Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Earthy Beetroot Podi
- 2 rotis (leftover or fresh, room temperature)
- 4 tbsp perugu (thick curd / hung curd)
Method
- Lay a roti flat on a plate or clean surface.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of thick perugu evenly across the roti, going almost to the edges — it should look like a thin, creamy layer, not a dollop.
- Dust 1 heaped teaspoon of Earthy Beetroot Podi over the perugu. The warm reddish-pink colour will bloom against the white curd immediately.
- Roll the roti firmly from one end to the other, pressing gently so the perugu and podi stay inside.
- Slice in half on a diagonal and serve immediately — the cut end will show that pretty beetroot-speckled swirl.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much Earthy Beetroot Podi should I use in one roti roll?
One heaped teaspoon of Earthy Beetroot Podi per roti is the right amount — enough to season the curd and colour the roll without overpowering the mild sweetness of the beetroot. If you like a more pronounced flavour, go up to 1.5 teaspoons.
What can I pair with this beetroot podi roti roll to make it more filling?
The roll is satisfying on its own, but it pairs really well with a small bowl of dal or a cup of warm rasam on the side. For kids' tiffin boxes, you can tuck in a few slices of cucumber or carrot alongside.
How long does Earthy Beetroot Podi stay fresh once opened?
Earthy Beetroot Podi stays fresh for up to 6 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed. Keep it away from moisture — always use a dry spoon.
Is this beetroot podi roti roll suitable for young children?
Yes — Earthy Beetroot Podi is mildly spiced and slightly sweet, which makes it one of our most kid-friendly products. The roti roll format is easy for small hands to hold, and the perugu keeps it soft and gentle on the stomach.
