Sourcing & Milling
We buy whole, we mill small
Chilli comes from the Byadgi cold store in Karnataka and the Guntur yard in Andhra, cumin and coriander from the Unjha market an hour from here. Everything arrives whole, is cleaned and sun-dried on our terrace, and is milled on a stone chakki in ten-kilo lots so the oils stay in the spice instead of in the packing shed.

Pickle Season
Six weeks in May, and then it is over
Rajapuri mangoes come in from Talala and Junagadh in the first week of May and the whole family moves to the terrace: cutting, salting, sun-curing for four days, then filling jars with our own ghani groundnut oil. Athela Marcha and lemon follow in June. We make what the season gives us and when a batch is finished, it is finished until next year.

What the kitchens say

Nineteen years of the same chilli powder
The colour holds when it goes into hot oil and nobody at home starts coughing, which is how you know there is nothing but Byadgi and Teja in the packet. The milling date on the pouch is always within the week.

The mango pickle travels well
My mother has been sending me this jar every June since I moved. It reached Pune in four days, sealed properly with the oil still covering the pieces, and it tastes exactly like her terrace in Rajkot.

Atta is excellent, order early
The rotli stays soft for hours and the flour smells like actual wheat. Only thing to know is that they mill after you order, so allow a day extra - worth it, but do not order on the morning you have run out.

Ghani oil is the real thing
Took the 5 L tin on the monthly subscription and paid Cash on Delivery without any trouble. It smells of roasted groundnut, goes cloudy in winter like my grandmother said it should, and one tin lasts us five weeks.
