ANNAPOORNA Lemon Rice Powder 100g

Moving on to the Annapoorna Lemon Rice Powder, this is a staple “Podi” from the Sree Annapoorna Foods brand based in Coimbatore. It’s a huge time-saver for lunchboxes and travel.

While Annapoorna often retails in 50g and 200g packs, the 100g variant (often sold as a pack of 2 or a single carton) is popular for regular household use.

Price Guide (2026)

The 100g quantity usually retails around the following prices:

• MRP: ~₹45 – ₹55

• Offer Price: ~₹40 – ₹42

• Comparison: A single 50g pouch typically costs ₹21, so buying the 100g equivalent usually saves you a few rupees.

How to Use It

This powder is highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way.

1. Rice: Take about 2 cups of cooked rice (spread it on a plate to cool slightly so it doesn’t get mushy).

2. The Tadka (Optional but better): Heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add mustard seeds, peanuts, and curry leaves.

3. The Mix: Add 1 to 1.5 tbsp of the Annapoorna Lemon Rice Powder to the oil. Turn off the heat immediately so the spices don’t burn.

4. Combine: Toss the cooked rice into the pan and mix gently until every grain is a bright, lemony yellow.

Why Annapoorna?

• Flavor Profile: It has a sharper “tang” compared to MTR or Aachi, as it uses high-quality citric agents and authentic lentils (chana dal/urad dal).

• Shelf Life: Usually 12 months, provided it is kept in an airtight container after opening.
