Every batch of Mohanthaal or Besan Laddoo you see here is prepared under Mom’s watchful eye, using traditional slow-roasting techniques that simply cannot be rushed. We are not a factory, and we do not use assembly lines; we are a home kitchen here in Mumbai. Because we insist on using pure ghee and no preservatives, we make everything in small, manageable batches to ensure each order carries the specific, ghee-rich warmth you are looking for. ### Our Story: From Covid Kitchen to Your Home It all started with a simple thought during the lockdown. I am Meenakkshi, and I wanted to turn my mother Usha’s passion into something real. Everyone calls her Dadisaa, and her cooking has always been our family's comfort. What began as cooking for ourselves and our neighbours during uncertain times quickly turned into 'Happy Grandmaa Kitchen.' ### Why We Do It This Way We believe food should be honest. When you order from us, you aren't getting mass-produced packets. You are getting the same snacks we make for our own family. This means: * **No shortcuts:** We never use palm oil or artificial preservatives. * **Slow-cooked traditions:** We stick to the old-school Marwadi way of slow-roasting flour on a low flame (Mand-aach) to get that perfect, granular texture. * **Pure ingredients:** If a recipe calls for pure ghee, that is exactly what we use. No compromises. ### Meet the Team Our kitchen is a tight-knit family. Dadisaa is the boss, and she makes sure every single box that leaves our kitchen is up to her standard. Behind the scenes, we have a small, dedicated team that helps us pack love and ghee-goodness into every order. Whether it is Diwali, Karwa Chauth, or just a Tuesday evening tea, we are here to make sure you have the taste of tradition on your table. We keep experimenting with Dadisaa’s old recipe book, so there is always something new—or a forgotten classic—popping up. If you are ever wondering what to snack on, just ask, 'Dadisaa se pucho.' She always has the best answer. ## About Happy Grandmaa Kitchen I am Meenakkshi, and I run this kitchen with my mother, Usha—everyone calls her Dadisaa. We started Happy Grandmaa Kitchen to share the honest, preservative-free Marwadi flavours that kept our own family smiling through the toughest times.
