What you will be ordering
Maamoul is a short, mould-pressed cookie of semolina and ghee filled with date paste — a bake that travelled from the Arab world into the Mappila bakeries of the Malabar coast generations ago and stayed. Kerala-made Maamoul is genuinely rare: most of what is sold in India is imported from the Middle East. Ours is baked in Calicut, in the Mappila tradition, with date filling and a crumbly, just-sweet shell.
Because Maamoul keeps for weeks at room temperature and looks beautiful in a box, it is the natural gifting half of our range — the item that anchors festival hampers for Ramadan, Eid and Christmas, and the easiest first taste of the kitchen to send to someone else.
While you wait
The story of how an Arab cookie became a Kerala one is part of the story of Calicut itself — the spice-port history is written up on this site, along with a home recipe if you want to bake a batch before ours ships.
Before you order
When can I order Maamoul?
First batch opens late June 2026. Leave your email on this page and we will notify you when the first batch goes live.How long does Maamoul keep?
Weeks at room temperature in an airtight pack — the date filling and low moisture make it one of the most shippable items in the Malabar repertoire. Exact tested shelf life will be printed on the pack.Is Kerala Maamoul different from Middle Eastern Maamoul?
The construction is the same — moulded semolina shell, date filling. The Mappila version reflects local taste: typically a touch less sweet, baked with ghee, and eaten with strong chaya rather than coffee.
