And nothing can match the pride of a woman when her guests eye the table in delightful anticipation.
Hi, I am Dhanya Praveen – Let me share with you my journey, that lead me to SpicesMall!
I am the Director of CodeDesign Technologies Pvt Ltd and am also the mother of 3 little, fast growing boys who share my love for good food. This in turn, inspired me to find the means to bring the magic of spices of high quality, first to my kitchen and then to every loving household, at an affordable cost. The inspiring enthusiasm of my husband kindled my passion, stoking it, with words and deeds of encouragement, giving me the confidence for an aromatic venture – the SpicesMall. My passion for spices started very early, as a young girl, watching with awe, the magic my grandma wove into every dish, making them irresistibly delicious. As I grew older, she lovingly shared her magic and revealed the world of natural spices to my eager mind. And when I grew older, that world of natural spices became more definite and I realized that all those great flavours had a natural home, the tiny state of Kerala, the Spice Garden of India.
The great spices, Cardamom, Pepper, Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg, and Ginger, just to name a few, all were in abundance in this God’s Own Country, which attracted traders from across the perilous seas and scorching deserts, like flies to honey.
Spices have always been a part of our culture. To us, it is so much more than just an ingredient to flavour our dishes. Its medicinal properties and preservative powers, not to mention its alluring taste, are legendary and eons ago, the whole world had just one destination, Kerala. In our own humble way, Spices Mall from Kerala, is striving to bring the rich aroma and the goodness of our pure, traditional spices, direct from the farmers, to every kitchen possible, making each dish an experience in culinary bliss. We will, however, do our best to keep the prices reasonable and give the lion’s share to the farmer. It is a promise from me.
Spices and dry fruits sit next to each other in the kitchen. So important are they to our wellbeing. SpiceMall will also have a rich hamper of dry fruits to supplement its spice platter. Directly from the producers, these also will be of the finest quality possible and the richness will only be in their nutritional value but not in their price.
Take a tour of our Mall, learn more on our culinary tradition, our spices and their intrinsic value, be blissfully lost in a world of tantalizing aroma, making you yearn for that special tang, that only the purest of spices can bestow to a dish.
