From the unit

Made and ground at our unit in Ganderbal, Kashmir.

Ver is the sun-dried spice cake of the Valley: shallot, garlic, chilli and whole spices pounded with mustard oil, shaped, and left to dry in the autumn sun. We grind the cakes so you can use it by the spoon.

Whole spice in, ground spice out, the same week it is packed. We do not buy ground spice from anyone, and the batch number on the pack is the batch we can show you.

  • Proper ver. My grandmother made it; now I do not have to.

  • A spoon in haakh and the kitchen smells like Srinagar.

    Nida F. · Bengaluru

  • Pungent in the best way. Keep it in the fridge once opened.
