About Malayali Kada

The Artisan Kerala Store. Bringing Kerala's legacy alive, one jar, one bottle, one bite at a time.

Malayali Kada was born from a simple love for Kerala, its food, and the traditions behind every recipe. Whether you grew up in Kerala or just fell in love with its flavours, this is your store.

We deliver homemade pickles, organic curry powders, cold-pressed coconut oil, freshly milled flours, traditional palaharams, and fresh-frozen Kerala specialties to over 300 families across 49 communities in Bangalore.

We are not manufacturers. We are curators.

Where Our Food Comes From?

Every product on Malayali Kada comes from one of four trusted sources:

🏠 Homemakers in Kerala
Our pickles, chutney powders, and select snacks come from kitchens of homemakers across Kerala. We visit them, taste their food, check their hygiene, and only partner with those who treat cooking as craft. They make in small batches, 2 to 3 kg at a time so freshness stays first.

🌾 Small-scale producers and farmers
Our spices, curry powders, oils, and flours come from small-scale Kerala producers who still follow traditional methods. No factory lines. No bulk machinery. Just slow, careful work.

🥥 Home chefs in Bangalore
For freshly made items, brownies, payasam, plum cakes, unniyappam , our home chefs in Bangalore prepare each order on demand. Pre-order today, eat fresh tomorrow.

❄️ Trusted partners
For frozen meat and ready-to-cook items, we partner with Abad Foods — export-quality, HALAL-certified, no preservatives.

Every product passes through our Tasters Club — founders, families, friends, and neighbours — for over a month before it ever reaches you.

Meet Your MK Postman

When you order from Malayali Kada, your delivery doesn't come from a faceless app.

It comes from your MK Postman, the person who packs your box, knows your apartment, and remembers your name. They don't just deliver food. They deliver stories; a note from the homemaker who packed your pickle, a recipe card with this week's chutney powder, a small surprise from Kerala.

Your MK Postman delivers your orders.

How Postman's Pick Works

For families who want their kitchen restocked without thinking about it, we created Postman's Pick — our subscription experience.

The Adukkala Box is our first subscription bundle. Every month, your MK Postman delivers a curated box of cold-pressed coconut oil and six organic curry powders, the essentials every Kerala kitchen runs on. Save ₹100 every month. Cancel anytime.

More boxes coming soon.

What We Stand For

Real food. No preservatives. No harmful chemicals. No factory shortcuts.

Traceable food. You should know who made what you eat. Every product page tells you the source.

Small batch food. We don't store. We don't bulk-source. We restock every 4-5 weeks so what you get is always fresh.

Food that supports people. Every order helps a Kerala homemaker, farmer, or small producer earn a fair share for their craft.

Why We Exist

Real Kerala food is hard to find in a city. Quick-commerce apps deliver in 10 minutes, but the coconut oil is refined, the chilly powder is artificially coloured, and the pickle has been sitting in a warehouse for six months.

Malayali Kada exists to change that. To bring Kerala's taste, traditions, and trust into more kitchens — Malayali, non-Malayali, and everyone in between. The way good food was meant to be.

Support Local & Eat Good Food Movement

Malayali Kada stands for conscious choices. When you shop with us, you are not just buying food, you are supporting a movement. A movement that values local farmers, honors homemakers’ craftsmanship, and keeps traditional recipes alive.

We believe in food that’s real, wholesome, and rooted in nature. By choosing local, you’re helping build a sustainable future while savoring the true essence of Kerala.

Join us in celebrating tradition, supporting communities, and enjoying good food, just the way it’s meant to be.
