Amma is asking
Tell her, and she will point at the right thing. She always does.

Take the box. I put sweet and hot in it together, because that is how a plate works. One lid to open when the house fills up.

1ingredients in cold pressed groundnut oil. Groundnuts. That is the whole label.
Every pack has a list short enough to print on the front. So we print it here too, whole, with nothing folded into a word like flavouring.
Some of this is fried, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Clean does not mean healthy. It means nothing goes in that you would not keep in your own kitchen.
46ingredients, across everything we make
No single pack uses more than 14 of them. Here is all of it:
And nothing else.
Checked, not promised. If a pack ever listed one of these, the site would refuse to build rather than let this page say otherwise.
ఇంకొంచెం తిను.
Eat a little more. If you grew up in a Telugu house, you have heard it a thousand times.
సరే అమ్మా.
Okay, Amma. Good. Now go and eat.
How this started
My mother cooks the way some people sing. Ask her for a snack and you get a plate, then a second plate, then a box to take home. Feeding people is how she says she loves you.
She has exactly one rule for her son. Eat home food. Eat clean. She says it the way mothers say things, which is to say she keeps saying it until it works.
One day it worked. If she wants her son eating real food from a real kitchen, then every son and every daughter deserves the same thing. Not factory snacks wearing a homestyle label. The actual thing, made by hand, packed the same week.
So we gave her kitchen a delivery address.
Nothing hidden in the food. Nothing held back in the love.
Read the whole storyAmma's journey, and yours
We show the process because none of it should be a mystery.
Dals and grains roasted a batch at a time, not in bulk.
Ground, then bound with jaggery while the mix is still warm.
Rolled or pressed by hand, then packed in small batches.
Every pack carries the day it was packed. Nothing goes in to stretch that number.
Made to order, so we confirm the delivery date once you order. Anywhere outside Hyderabad is arranged with you first.
Opened, shared, finished in a week. Which is the whole point of a short date.
This is where you come in.
And then
Every pack is dated from the day it is packed. Nothing goes into it to stretch that number.
1days,
and mixed veg pickle is out of date.
