Our Story: From Amma’s Kitchen to Yours

A Heritage Carried in a Handful of Spices

House of Palakkad didn’t start in a boardroom; it started over the simmering pots of our family kitchen in Palakkad. For decades, our Amma has been the heart of our home, preserving recipes that have traveled through generations. Every blend we offer today—from our deep-roasted Sambar Podi to our sun-matured Kadumanga—is a page from her personal culinary diary.

The Palakkad Way

In Palakkad, cooking is an art of patience. It’s about the slow-roasting of spices to draw out their essential oils, the careful sun-drying of mangoes, and the perfect balance of gingelly oil and asafoetida. We realized that this "Palakkad Style"—intense, nutty, and deeply aromatic—was a flavor the world deserved to taste.

A Family Labor of Love

We came together as a family to turn Amma’s lifelong passion into a brand. Our mission is simple: to bring the authentic, handcrafted taste of a Kerala home to your table, no matter where in the world you are.

We don’t use industrial grinders or artificial preservatives. We stick to the old ways—small batches, slow roasts, and the same premium ingredients Amma uses for us. When you open a jar from the House of Palakkad, you aren’t just getting a product; you’re getting a piece of our heritage, made with a mother’s care.
