About Homemade South Indian Spices & Snacks
Our Family's Flavours, Straight to Your Table
People often ask us for our sambar powder after tasting our food at weddings or Ganesha festival gatherings. The taste brings memories, right? All our spices and snacks come from recipes my father perfected over 39 years, following our Iyengar traditions.
Everyday Essentials: Spices & Mixes
All our powders and pastes are homemade, not mass produced. You’ll find:
- Iyengar style sambar powder for that nostalgic taste
- Freshly ground rasam pudi (powder) for comforting rasam
- Temple puliyogare mix - ready in minutes, tastes just like prasada at the temple
- Masala powder for your daily sabzi
Festival Favourites & Snacks
Snacks and sweets are made fresh, just before delivery:
- Chakli, mixture, Uddina vade, aloo bonda, khara kadubu for those evening cravings or special pujas
- Authentic festival sweets like bele holige (Ugadi must-have), sihi kadubu, peni sweet - all crafted by our own family specialists
- Hayagreeva and dry jamoon for a bit of extra indulgence
Made Only After You Order
We don’t keep anything ready-made. Neevu order madidre, naavu madikodtivi (You order, we make). My father checks every batch, so the taste stays true, and you get a piece of our kitchen’s legacy, every time.
