THE ELAVARASI TRADITION
Founded over four decades ago in the temple city of Madurai, Elavarasi Foods began with a singular promise: to never compromise on the purity of ingredients. Real wood-fired kadai frying, pure cold-pressed oils, and recipes passed down three generations.
The Forgotten Art of Wood-Fired Kadai Frying
Modern factories use automated gas flash fryers that blister chips on the outside while leaving moisture trapped inside. At Elavarasi, our master cooks still use heavy, traditional iron vats heated over slow firewood flames. The steady, radiant heat cooks raw plantains and tapioca uniformly to their core, creating that iconic, brittle snap that stays crisp for weeks.
100% Pure Cold-Pressed Oils. Zero Palm Oil.
Over 90% of commercial packaged snacks in India use cheap, hydrogenated palm oil that coats your throat with greasy residue. We exclusively use expeller-pressed, native groundnut oil from Tamil Nadu farms and fragrant cold-pressed coconut oil from Kerala. Rich in natural antioxidants, delightfully light on the stomach, and free of trans fats.
