आमची गोष्ट · Our story

फराळ म्हणजे नुसता खाऊ नाही —
ती एक आठवण आहे.

Swaadved started in Satara, on a terrace where the year's rice and dals were sun-dried for भाजणी — the roasted flour blend that decides whether a chakli shatters or sighs. No recipe was ever written down. We learned it the way it is meant to be learned: standing next to Aaji, getting the dough wrong, and trying again.

“भाजणी चांगली, तर चकली चांगली.”
Get the bhajani right and the chakli takes care of itself.

We still roast our own bhajani in an iron kadhai — rice, chana dal, urad dal, poha and jeera, each roasted separately because each browns at its own pace. We still fry in pure cow ghee. And we still make only what the day's orders need, because faral is not meant to sit on a shelf.

कृती · How it is made

Four days before it reaches you

Nothing here is a factory step. This is simply how faral has always been made.

०१

भाजणी

Rice, chana dal, urad dal, poha and jeera are washed, sun-dried and roasted separately in an iron kadhai, then stone-ground warm.

०२

मळणी

Dough is kneaded with boiling water and mohan — hot ghee worked into the flour. This is what makes the difference between crisp and hard.

०३

तळणी

Fried in small batches in pure cow ghee, temperature judged the old way — by how a scrap of dough rises to the surface.

०४

पॅकिंग

Cooled completely on cotton, then sealed in food-grade tins the same morning your box goes out. Nothing is stored overnight.

The crafts behind a faral thali

Short documentary clips of the traditional techniques our recipes rely on — hand-rolling sweet poli, frying in ghee, and drawing the rangoli that greets the festival. These are archival films from Wikimedia Commons, credited below each clip, not footage of our own kitchen.

Rolling sweet poli by hand

A baker rolls out obbattu — the Kannada cousin of our puranpoli — stretching the stuffed dough thin without tearing the puran. Exactly the wrist our Aaji uses.

Reading the kadhai

Batter hits hot ghee in steady spirals. Watch how the halwai never checks a thermometer — the sound and the rise of the bubbles are the thermometer.

The rangoli at the door

Before a single box is opened, the doorstep is drawn. A street vendor lays down colour with a mould — the same welcome your faral arrives into.
