You can now treat your family to the traditional tastes of India even when away from home!

Indian Dairy

Paneer and Ghee are staple Indian Diary products that are now available online for purchase! This cottage cheese style diary product is super easy to cook and is delicious, to say the least. Ghee is yet another item that is so synonymous with the Indian cuisine and also sumptuous enough to make a vegan diet filling.

Dried Pulses

We Indians love our gravies made of pulses. These go great with Indian flat bread and there are a number of different dishes that we can make with pulses, peas, and lentils. Nowadays, online supermarkets offer big bags of dried pulses like chickpeas, beans, lentils, and split peas that can make for some yummy dinner recipes.

Rose Water

Yet another Indian specialty, the Rose Water is used not just for consumption but also for medicinal purposes. It is a great natural coolant for the body and also a natural face toner that can be used in facials. In cooking, it gives an unmistakable aroma for desserts and is also great for dishes with a fruity interlude!

Indian Snacks

Tired of potato chips? Snack away – Indian style! Items like Aloo Bhujia, Chevda, Bombay Mix, Spiced Peas, Bhelpuri are all now available in packed bags.
