{"title":"Kaaviya","description":"\u003cp\u003eKaaviya is a grocery label focused on Tamil and Sri Lankan Tamil staples, with a range that reads like a traditional Jaffna or Madurai store cupboard. Next to the cooking basics it keeps the dried herbs and roots that older generations stored in a tin by the stove, the kind of ingredients that are hard to find outside a specialist shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kaaviya lines we carry span \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gingelly-sesame-oil\"\u003egingelly oil\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/barley\"\u003ebarley\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/horse-gram\"\u003ehorse gram\u003c\/a\u003e (kollu), \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/poppadoms-and-papad\"\u003eappalam\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jaggery-gur\"\u003epalmyrah jaggery\u003c\/a\u003e, with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/maldive-fish\"\u003eMaldive fish\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cinnamon\"\u003eCeylon cinnamon\u003c\/a\u003e.

Barley is simmered into a thin kanji, palmyrah jaggery sweetens pongal and kozhukattai with a darker, smokier taste than cane, and a pinch of Maldive fish deepens a Sri Lankan seeni sambol or pol sambol. Sukku and thippili are ground into sukku malli coffee and kashayam, and cinnamon quills go into biryani and Jaffna curries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDried roots and spices keep their aroma longest in airtight jars out of sunlight, and Maldive fish should be resealed tightly, as it draws moisture. Jaggery can harden in the cold, so store it at room temperature and grate it as needed.
