Buy dry fruits online in Navsari

Navsari is a quiet town with orchards on one side and diamond workshops on the other. Its food, though, is what visitors remember.

Ravo, sev and Parsi mornings

On Navroz, on birthdays and on any happy morning, Parsi homes in Navsari make ravo and sweet sev. Ravo is semolina cooked in milk and finished with fried Regular Dakh (Kishmis) and sliced almonds. Sev is roasted vermicelli with the same raisins and Badam Katran on top. Lagan nu custard, baked for weddings, often gets a sprinkle of Charoli as well.

Chikoo orchards and winter pak

The farms around Navsari and Gandevi are full of chikoo and mango trees, and farming families keep a jar of Black Dates (Khajoor) for long days in the field. In winter, Gujarati households make adadiya pak with Goond Barik and Jumbo Cashew (Kaju). Open the raisin collection to choose between green and black raisins for your sev.

Rain from June to September

South Gujarat gets far more rain than the north, and Navsari stays damp for months. Raisins can clump together and cashews lose their crunch in that air. Store them in glass jars with tight lids and keep the jars away from the kitchen window, where the steam from cooking settles.

Navsari’s diamond workshops employ thousands of polishers and cutters, many of whom work long, careful hours bent over a wheel. A small box of almonds and raisins beside the workbench is a common sight. Parsi bakeries in the town are famous for their biscuits and cakes, and home bakers who want to copy those recipes use chopped cashews and raisins in the batter. The Dandi memorial draws school trips and visitors through the winter, and families who host them like to keep something to offer with tea.

A Navsari order usually reaches you in 2–4 days by courier, weighed to the gram and sealed airtight. The courier also covers Bilimora, Gandevi, Chikhli and Vansda. Orders start at ₹1,000 and every order ships free. Payment is online only.
