Our Story
It all started when Ila Joshi, our co-founder, relocated to Canada to live with her son and daughter-in-law. In this new chapter in a new country, far from her roots, Ila yearned to recreate the comforting warmth she felt back home, and her gateway to achieving that was through food. Armed with recipes passed down through generations, she embarked on a quest for the perfect ingredients, spice mixes, and condiments, leading to frequent grocery runs.
During one such excursion, she was disheartened to discover that the grocery store aisles were saturated with the same few, mass-produced achar, laden with preservatives and lacking the authentic flavors she cherished. Ila decided to take matters into her own hands. In that moment, the kitchen pot took center stage, and our very first achar was born!!! The result? A burst of exclusive flavors that were not only loved by family and friends but what truly set them apart were her secret ingredients - love, joy, and her proud heirloom recipes.
Now, with a heart brimming with passion, we aspire to share that same love with you and your family. Welcome to the journey of flavors infused with tradition, warmth, and the essence of home.
We take pride in being a Canadian brand that is both women and minority-owned.
