Ghar ka swaad,

छठ महापर्व

For everyone who can’t go home for Chhath.

Every year, so many of us far from Bihar miss the ghat, the songs at dawn and the thekua pressed by family hands. Our Chhath Special Hamper brings the prasad to you, hand-pressed, packed with care and sent in time for the festival.

काकी की कहानी

One day in Kaki’s aangan

From the first flame of the chulha to the dabba at your door, this is how every batch is made.

भोर · Before dawn

The chulha is lit

Before the village wakes, the fire is going. Kaki says good food needs an early start and an unhurried hand.

आँगन · The courtyard

Gud melts slowly

Jaggery bubbles in the kadhai while stories go around the aangan, whose wedding is next, whose mango tree is heavy this year.

साँचा · The mould

Pressed by hand

Every thekua is pressed on a wooden saancha. No two come out exactly the same, that’s how you know a person made it.

आपका घर · Your home

Packed with love

Sealed the same day and sent to you, so the first bite tastes like a visit home.

सीधी बात

Thekua vs. the fancy cookie

An entirely unbiased comparison. By Kaki.

Gud ka thekua

Gud ka Thekua

  • Made by Kaki’s hands, on a saancha
  • Sweetened with gud, like old times
  • Survives train journeys, hostel raids, siblings
  • Comes with a story, every single bite
  • Pairs with chai, memories, midnight cravings

Fancy Cookie

  • Made by a machine somewhere
  • Sweetened with who knows what
  • Survives …until the packet opens
  • Comes with a barcode
  • Pairs with guilt

काकी की चिट्ठी

A letter tucked into every first order.

प्यारे बच्चों,

शहर की भाग-दौड़ में घर का खाना छूट जाता है, जानती हूँ। इसलिए हर डब्बा वैसे ही भरती हूँ जैसे तुम्हारी मम्मी भरती, थोड़ा ज़्यादा, थोड़े प्यार से। खाना, और घर की याद आए तो चिट्ठी लिखना।

तुम्हारी अंशु काकी
