How they are made

The difference is upstream of the recipe

Most of what makes these taste the way they do happens before anything goes in a bowl.

Almonds soaked and peeled by hand

We grind our own almond flour from whole almonds rather than buying it pre-milled. It is slower, and it is the single biggest thing you can taste.

Oat flour milled fresh

Milled as we need it, so none of it sits around going flat. Fresh flour behaves differently, and holds more of its own flavor.

Pumpkin seed flour pressed in-house

Pressed here, not ordered in. It gives the pumpkin cookie a depth that store-bought seed flour simply does not have.

Jaggery instead of refined sugar

An unrefined cane sugar with a caramel note of its own. It is why the cookies taste rich without tasting sweet.

Why Srikari started

It started with other people’s children

Picture one evening. You made the good thing. Two bites gone. Now it sits cold, next to an empty wrapper.

That was never her kitchen. It was everyone else’s.

After moving to Austin from India, Srikari kept hearing the same thing from the mothers around her, and from her own mother on every call. The good food came back. The wrapper never did.

So she stayed in her kitchen. Jaggery, not sugar. Almonds soaked and peeled by hand. Batches went wrong. The house smelled of cardamom for weeks. Then one evening, an empty plate.

Then the part she did not plan for. The parents started asking for their own. Not a treat they were allowing themselves. The thing they actually wanted.

Today the answer is these five cookies. Nine nuts and seeds in the Breakfast Nut alone, no eggs, no refined sugar, flours ground that morning. Asked for by name, and not only by the children.
