Steel buckets filled with freshly made chakodi

Fill your house with real food again

Every Telugu house used to have a shelf of steel dabbas that never went empty. Somebody was always frying, always drying, always filling the jar back up. When you got hungry at eleven at night, that shelf is what you reached for.

That's all this is. A weekly or monthly box of the same things, made the same way, so the shelf stays full and nobody in your house has to order a packet of something engineered to keep them chewing.

How it reaches you still tasting right

Made the week it ships

Nothing sits in storage waiting for an order. We fry, dry and pack close together so the crunch survives the journey.

Salt, oil and time

The pickles keep for months without a single preservative, because that's what salt, cold-pressed oil and patience were always for.

Packed to arrive whole

Sealed food-grade containers, cushioned properly. If anything reaches you broken or off, tell us and we'll make it right.
