When should I order for Ramadan?

Two to three weeks before Ramadan begins. Packs keep three months sealed, so ordering early costs nothing in freshness.

Is the Kozhi Ada halal?

Our halal certification status will be published on the About and Contact pages once the audit is complete. Until then, please ask us before ordering.

Can I send Kozhi Ada to my parents in Kerala for Ramadan?

Yes. Give us their address when you order, and add a message for them if you like.

Do you ship internationally for Ramadan?

Not yet. Order to a family address in India - the pack keeps until you visit, too.

Do you do Ramadan hampers?

Not in the first range. Hampers built from our packs follow later; for now, order the packs themselves in whatever quantity you need.

Festival · February / March

Ramadan & Eid al-Fitr.

Kozhi Ada and Kerala banana chips from our Calicut kitchen for the Ramadan Iftar table. Shelf-stable packs, shipped pan-India; order to your address or to family back home.

The Ramadan & Eid al-Fitr food culture

Iftar - the meal that breaks the daily fast during Ramadan - is the busiest food window of the year in Mappila households across the Malabar coast. By 6 pm the kitchen has been working for hours, and what comes out is not a single dish but a spread: a glass of strong sweet milky tea or Sulaimani, two or three dates, then a parade of small fried savouries and one or two sweet bakes.

What's specifically Malabari about this Iftar isn't the timing - every Muslim community breaks fast similarly - it's the food itself. Kozhi Ada, Mutta Surka, Unnakaya, Pazham Pori, Chatti Pathiri: each is a small, dense, hand-shaped item that you can eat with your fingers, three or four to a sitting, before the main meal arrives.

Calicut Cravings makes two of the things on that table travel: Kozhi Ada, the savoury the Iftar spread is built around, and Kerala banana chips. Both are sealed and shelf-stable, so a pack ordered before Ramadan keeps through the month. Order to your own address, or to a parent's in Kerala or the metros if you are fasting somewhere far from home.

What to order for Ramadan & Eid al-Fitr

Kozhi Ada - The Iftar savoury people ask for by name. Fennel-spiced chicken in crisp fried pastry, ready to eat straight from the pack.
Kerala banana chips - The plate-filler beside the dates. Nendran chips fried in coconut oil, lightly salted.
A month of Kozhi Ada - Several packs at once. Sealed packs keep three months, so one order before Ramadan restocks the table right through it.
For a gathering - Bulk packs for a mosque or community Iftar - write to us with the date, address and headcount.

Timing

When	What to do
3 weeks before Ramadan	Order if sending from abroad to an Indian address; the slack covers courier load.
2 weeks before Ramadan	Comfortable window for pan-India delivery before the first fast.
During Ramadan	Restock orders. Packs keep, so order the month in one go if you prefer.
1 week before Eid	Last reliable window - couriers slow approaching the festival.

About hampers

Ramadan hampers are not part of the first range. We are launching with two packs and getting them right; hampers built from them follow. Until then an Iftar order is simple: as many packs of Kozhi Ada and banana chips as the table needs.
