What's new:

Please note that there will be an extra Christmas Market on Tuesday, December 23 from 8:00am to 3:00pm.

Stock your freezer with soups and dals for quick and easy meals during the holidays. Try our Kerala Chickpea Curry. Simply serve on rice, with a veggie or salad on the side. You can dress it up with a topping of fresh cilantro, and it's great with a dollop of yogurt.

Our dals and sambars can be served the same way. They supply the protein in your meal, and make a delicious, satisfying supper.

Try the Everyday Dal, loaded with greens; or the Bengali Red Lentils, our all time best seller.

Keep well, keep warm, and see you at the market!

Product List

We buy a lot of our produce at the market, so the following list changes with the seasons. Items marked    change from week to week.

Most of our products are vegetarian. Many are also wheat-free, gluten-free and dairy-free. Please note that if you are extremely sensitive to particular foods, these products are not made in a gluten-free, nut-free etc. environment.

The following items are frozen, so you can have them handy when you need them.

Spice levels in Latin American and East Indian dishes range from extra-mild to medium, since it's easy to add heat but you can't take it away.
