Malai Poondu Garlic Supplier (Hill Garlic)

Malai Poondu means hill garlic in Tamil, and it is the name South Indian buyers use for the compact, pungent garlic grown in the cool hills around Ooty, Kodaikanal, and the wider Western Ghats. Some buyers also spell it Malai Pundu, but it refers to the same prized hill garlic.

Based in Mettupalayam at the foot of the hills, we are well placed to source Malai Poondu and supply it in bulk. We grade and sort the hill garlic so trade buyers get a consistent, aroma-forward product rather than a mixed lot.

What is Malai Poondu

Malai Poondu is hill-grown garlic, usually smaller and tighter than plains garlic, with a sharper aroma that South Indian cooks prize for traditional dishes, chutneys, and rasam. Its hill origin and stronger flavour let retailers position it as a premium garlic above ordinary bulbs.

Because genuine hill garlic is seasonal and in demand, a Mettupalayam-based source helps trade buyers secure consistent Malai Poondu rather than relying on irregular supply.
