Buying dry fruits online in Bangalore

Bangalore kitchens get through more cashew than most people would guess. It goes into kesari bath and ven pongal at breakfast, into the payasam on Ugadi and Deepavali, and a warm glass of badam haalu with a pinch of saffron and cardamom is still how a lot of homes end the day. Then there is the other Bangalore: the office desk drawer, the gym bag, the flat shared by four people from four states, where a bag of almonds or a trail mix stands in for the snack nobody has time to make.

Ordering from us works the same way for both. We weigh every order to the gram at our counter in Rajasthan, seal it airtight, and hand it to the courier, and it usually reaches a Bangalore address in 3–5 days. Orders start at ₹1,000 and ship free. Payment is online only, so there is nothing to keep ready when the parcel arrives.

What Bangalore orders most

• Almonds for badam haalu. Regular Badam soaks and grinds well, and is what most homes use for the evening milk.
• Cashew for the kitchen. Kaju Tukda is the sensible choice for pongal and kesari bath, where the nut is fried in ghee and stirred in anyway.
• Kishmish for payasam. Plump green raisins that swell in hot milk; Lambi Dakh is the one we would pick.
• A mix for the desk. Trail Mix with 12 Nuts and Dry Fruits covers the four o’clock slump without a trip to the cafeteria.
• Seeds for the breakfast bowl. Chia Seeds for the overnight oats that a lot of younger Bangalore households now make on Sunday for the week.

Keeping dry fruits fresh through Bangalore’s long rains

The city is rarely hot enough to spoil nuts, which lulls people into leaving them in an open jar. The trouble here is damp, not heat. Between the south-west monsoon and the October showers, the air stays moist for months, and walnuts, cashews and raisins all pick it up. A walnut that has sat soft for a few weeks turns bitter, and a cashew that bends instead of snapping is on its way.

Keep each bag sealed, squeeze the air out after every use, and move anything you will not finish in a month into the fridge. Take out only what you need for the week.

If you are cooking for a festival, the full cashew shelf has every grade, and our note on what Super, Jumbo, faad and tukda mean will tell you which one is worth buying for the dish you have in mind.

Across the border and further into Karnataka, these towns have their own pages: Hosur, Hubli-Dharwad, Belgaum, Davangere, Shimoga and Gulbarga.
