There's nothing like the simple joy of evening tea. I create my snacks to be the perfect companion for these quiet moments, helping to satisfy that 'choti-si-bhookh' with something truly wholesome and delicious.
My Peanut Chikki paired with a warm cup of chai is a match made in heaven. I make it with jaggery for a traditional, earthy sweetness that isn't too heavy, making it the perfect sweet treat.
My Chekkalu, or Thattai, are light, crispy, and crunchy rice crackers. They are a festival staple in the South, and I make them year-round using my family's recipe so you can enjoy them anytime.
Here is a look at my range of snacks, packed and ready for your home. From savory mixtures to classic murukkus, each packet is filled with fresh, preservative-free goodness made right in my Bangalore kitchen.
About this collection
Every batch is made in my Bangalore kitchen with fresh sunflower oil—never reused—and no artificial colors. When you open a packet, you smell the Hing and curry leaves immediately because I pack them fresh for your order, not from a warehouse shelf.
When I say homemade, I mean it. I start with simple, pantry staples: rice flour, besan, jaggery, and premium nuts. I avoid all preservatives because my family eats what I make, and I want the same for yours.
My murukku varieties—whether you prefer garlic-spiced, butter-rich, or the fine ompudi—rely on a precise dough consistency that only comes from years of practice. For the mixtures, I toss in generous amounts of roasted peanuts and cashews, balancing the crunch with fresh spices. And for the chikki, I use only organic jaggery to get that perfect snap without the sticky aftertaste.
Whether you need a quick fix for that evening tea time or are looking to put together a thoughtful gift hamper for a festival, I handle every order with the same care. Since I make everything in small, controlled batches, I can ensure the crispness stays intact from my kitchen in Bangalore right to your doorstep, whether you are in the city or shipping across India.
