Packed after you order
Nothing pre-boxed. Yours is weighed and sealed once you have asked for it.
A note in your words
Send us a message and we will write it in by hand and put it in the box.
Straight to them
Give us their address at checkout and it goes to them, not to you.
Cheaper than separately
Every box costs less than buying the same things one at a time.
Six ways to send it
The First Kothar
For someone who has never eaten hill food
The three things everybody comes back for, and the safest possible introduction. If you are sending this to someone who has never cooked with hill rajma or real bilona ghee, start here.
- Local Pahadi Rajma 250g 1 × 250g
- Desi Cow Ghee 250ml 1 × 250ml
- Local Rice 500g 1 × 500g
The Kinnaur Box
From the far valley, where almost nothing grows
Everything here comes from above 9,000 feet in Kinnaur, where the forest gives up and the rock takes over. The chilgoza alone makes this the most expensive box we send, and it is worth it.
- Chilgoza 125g 1 × 125g
- Dried Apricots 250g 1 × 250g
- Kinnauri Almonds 250g 1 × 250g
The Vanishing Grains
All four, before they disappear
Ogla, fafra, chalai and kodra fed these valleys for centuries and are now grown by a handful of families. Buying them is the only thing that reliably makes somebody plant them again next season.
- Ogla 250g 1 × 250g
- Fafra 250g 1 × 250g
- Chalai 250g 1 × 250g
- Kodra 250g 1 × 250g
Cook a Dham
Everything for a proper Himachali feast
A dham is the community feast served at weddings and festivals here. This box has what you need for the two dishes at the centre of it — rajma madra and sepu vadi — including the wild black cumin that makes them taste right.
- Local Pahadi Rajma 250g 1 × 250g
- Sepu Badi 125g 1 × 125g
- Desi Cow Ghee 250ml 1 × 250ml
- Kala Zeera 25g 1 × 25g
Sending more than a few?
For festival hampers, office gifting or anything above ten boxes, message us. We will tell you honestly what we can supply that season — some of what we sell is harvested once a year and there is only so much of it — and we will price it properly rather than making you buy ten boxes at retail.
