Growing up in a Gujarati family our home was nearly always filled with chewro, sev, gathiya, magaj and in the winter methi paak and more. I also loved the Indian traditions of using food to supplement health post birth/ surgery and other food linked remedies to give strength and energy where needed using Ayurvedic principles.
It’s so great to see startups like @indiansnack_21 creating these goodies and scaling up to provide a nationwide delivery option to share with everyone. We were lucky enough to receive a taster pack from the team.
We received the below;
Magaj – a sweet halva made with gram flour, ghee and sugar or ghor
Methi paak – a winter tonic to preserve good health and strong backs – made from fenugreek powder which provides the slightly bitter flavour. My dad enjoyed this and gave it a thumbs up.
Aradyu – another sweet dish made with Adad flour, singoda flour and gram flour. Singoda is also great for good back health and is often used postpartum to support recovery.
Goondar paak – another sweet dish which is often used to bring thandak (coolness) to the body.
Naankhatai – buttery shortbread biscuits with nutmeg -an absolute classic in any Indian household
Chewro – (commonly known in the UK as Bombay Mix) this was yummy and didn’t last long at all in the house.
A great service keeping alive Indian traditions in the UK.
