Haha, even Cambodians shutter when I mention Thai food, most Cambodians think it's just too spicy and bold. I love spice though, and Thai/Indian are among my favorite cuisines. If you give podi a try, you could always halve the spicy ingredients and produce a more mild product. Peanut podi with tamarind is nice, a little sweet and sour with a hint of spiciness.

Who knows, I might try the mild one.... I would have to ask the Asian Store owner, he is Indian ....
Would be interesting to see your results. I've never seen podi sold in stores before, I've always assumed because they're not as popular condiments as chutney and pickles. If the store owner is from south India, he might even have family recipes for podi he can share with you, especially a mild one that will jazz up your food without burning your tongue.
