From the Henchu pantry
Bakery
Coffee Powder
Coorg Arabica coffee, grown in the hills of Kodagu, roasted in small batches. Smooth and aromatic, with fruity and chocolatey notes.
Honey 200 ML
Coorg Honey is a premium, natural honey sourced from the lush coffee plantations and forests of Coorg, Karnataka. Known for its rich, aromatic flavour, Coorg honey is typically raw and unprocessed, retaining its full nutritional benefits, including antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
Sesseme Groundnut Holige - 5 piece
Sesame and groundnut holige, a traditional sweet flatbread filled with roasted seeds, peanut and jaggery. Five pieces.
Avalaki - 200 GMS
Flattened rice, light and quick to cook, the way our mums make a weekday avalaki for breakfast or an evening thindi.
Black Pepper
Coorg Black Pepper is a premium-grade spice celebrated for its rich aroma, bold flavor, and robust heat. Cultivated in the lush plantations of Coorg, Karnataka, this black pepper stands out for its distinctive quality, owing to the region’s fertile soil, tropical climate, and traditional farming methods.
Chivda
Chivda, also known as chiwda or poha chivda, is a popular Indian snack made from flattened rice (poha) mixed with a delightful blend of spices, nuts, and seasonings. Light, crunchy, and flavorful, this snack is a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and mildly spicy notes, making it a favorite across households in India.
Sesame Groundnut Holige
Sesame Groundnut Holige is a traditional Indian sweet delicacy that combines the nutty richness of groundnuts (peanuts) and sesame seeds with the soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture of Holige (sweet flatbread). This festive treat is a variation of the classic Holige, celebrated for its unique filling and wholesome flavors.
All products
Kashi Halwa - 100 GMS
Kashi halwa, a quietly clever Karnataka sweet made from white pumpkin, slow-cooked with ghee, milk and nuts.
Carrot Halwa - 100 GMS
Slow-cooked carrot halwa, grated carrots simmered in milk and ghee until thick, finished with cardamom and nuts. A festival sweet, made in small batches.
Jamun - 1 Piece
Soft, syrup-soaked gulab jamun, a golden milk dumpling steeped in rose-cardamom syrup. One piece, the right size for a small sweet moment.
Maldi
Maldi is a traditional Indian sweet delicacy originating from Gujarat. It consists of deep-fried flour ribbons or strands that are crunchy and coiled into a round shape, similar to a nest. These crispy spirals are then soaked in sugar syrup flavored with cardamom, giving them a sweet, delicate taste and brittle texture. The preparation requires skill to create the thin streams of batter that form the characteristic spiral pattern. Maldi is often enjoyed during festivals and special occasions, served as a snack or dessert.
Experiences at Henchu
Gayathri Mruthyunjaya
Founder & Partner, Henchu
For thirty-five years, cooking has been Gayathri's passion. In her Malleshwaram kitchen, she cooked for birthdays, festivals, and family, with recipes she carried in memory and never wrote down. That passion has now grown into a company. A team of mothers cooks alongside her today, and every dish carries the name of the mother who made it.
Gayathri built Henchu as a platform for every mother, so that experience is never missing recognition again.
Join the Henchu familyThe word henchu is a cooking pan.
Henchu began with a simple question. What if the best food in Bengaluru wasn't in a restaurant, but in someone's home? We set up a kitchen in Malleshwaram, one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods, and invited our mums to bring their family recipes. No standardisation, no restaurant chefs. Just honest food, made the way it's always been made.
