Canned Foods
Tuver lilva, papdi lilva, suran, karela, okra, lotus root and tinda — the hard-to-find Indian vegetables, prepped and preserved in brine at the peak of the season. Alongside the brine line, the rest of the cannery: soya chaap, button mushrooms, tomato purée and red cherries in syrup.
Winter vegetables, without the winter
Tuver lilva, surti papdi, tinda, suran — vegetables with a short Indian season and a devoted global following. Canned in brine within hours of harvest, they let an undhiu happen in London in June or a bhindi masala in Toronto in January.
How to use
Open the tin, drain the brine and rinse the vegetables once.
Use directly in curries, stir-fries and rice dishes — no peeling, cutting or boiling needed.
Add towards the end of cooking; the vegetables are already tender.
Transfer unused portions to a covered container, refrigerate and use within 2 days.
