Andhra Pradesh is the region of India most associated with generous use of chilli, and this follows that tradition. Alongside the heat there is garlic, cumin, sesame, ajwain and asafoetida, which give it a savoury depth rather than heat alone.

Hot. Chilli powder sits fifth in the ingredient list, ahead of the salt and most of the seasonings, and reviews consistently describe it as spicy. The brand frames it as mild, but it is the hottest product in the range.

The brand takes its name from the three-part South Indian snacking tradition — something sweet, something savoury, then coffee. Its recipes are made the way a grandmother would, which is why the packaging features Janaki Paati.

Filter coffee or hot tea is the traditional pairing, and the bitterness of coffee balances the chilli well. Some people eat it alongside a pickle, though that doubles the heat. Plain yoghurt works if you want something cooling.
