Hand-popped fox-nut tossed with shade-dried Himalayan mint, black salt, and a careful pinch of green chilli — a cool, herbaceous take on the heritage snack. Like the chaat-walla's pudin chutney, dry and pocketable.

Hand-popped Madhubani fox-nut tossed with a fiery Peri Peri blend — bird's-eye chilli, smoked paprika, garlic, and a whisper of lime. The crunch of heritage makhana, the kick of an evening snack done right.

Hand-popped fox-nut from the lotus ponds of Madhubani, Bihar. Roasted whole, never oiled, never salted — a featherweight protein-rich snack that cooks into kheer, curry, or a quiet handful between meals.

Whole black gram with the husk on, slow-grown in Madhya Pradesh's black-cotton soil. The bedrock of Indian comfort food — dal makhani, idli, vada — restored to its original texture and depth.

Whole pigeon peas grown on rain-fed plots and stone-milled in Ratlam. Cooks to a velvety, golden dal that holds its body without dissolving — the heritage texture industrial polishing has erased.
