Spice notes
Familiar names from Indian kitchens, and a short note on what each one brings to the pan.
Ground from the dried rhizome of a plant in the ginger family. It gives dals, curries and rice their familiar golden colour and a warm, gently bitter, earthy flavour.
Usually added early, so it can cook gently in the oil.
Made from dried, ground red chillies. Varieties differ widely: some are prized mostly for their colour, others for their heat.
The dried seed of the same plant whose leaves are used fresh. Ground, it is mild and citrusy, and it sits at the base of many spice blends.
Small, ridged seeds with a warm, earthy aroma that deepens when they are toasted or crackled in hot oil, the first step of many a tadka.
The dried berry of a flowering vine native to the Western Ghats. It brings a sharp, pungent heat and is used both whole and freshly ground.
A blend rather than a single spice. Its mix, often including cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and pepper, changes from region to region and from one household to the next.
Our next brand
Sweet roots. New harvest.
A fresh fruit brand in the making. The first fruits we plan to bring are familiar favourites, packed in SDO Fruits kraft cartons.
Fruit notes
Familiar fruits from Indian homes and markets, and a short note on each one.
Grown on trees in cooler climates, in hundreds of varieties that run from sweet to tart and from crisp to soft.
Stored cool, a good apple stays crisp for weeks.
Unlike most fruit, pears ripen best off the tree. They are picked mature but firm, then soften at room temperature over a few days.
Smooth-skinned stone fruit, often dusted with a pale natural bloom that rubs off when handled. Some varieties are dried into prunes.
Soft, fragrant stone fruit with a fine fuzz on the skin. They bruise easily, which is why they travel in single layers on cushioned trays.
Small stone fruit picked with the stem on. Cherries do not keep ripening after harvest, so they are picked ripe and kept cold.
Small, golden stone fruit with a velvety skin, eaten fresh or dried. Dried, they are the base of khubani ka meetha, a Hyderabadi dessert.
