Yes. Our batters are stone-ground and naturally fermented.
We use the traditional carefully selected ingredients you would use to make batter at home— stone grinding and natural fermentation.
Simple ingredients. Traditional preparation. Naturally fermented.
Absolutely! A few simple tips can make a big difference.
For crispy Dosas:
For 1 kg of Garam Foods batter, gradually add around 50ml - 100 of water and mix well. Adjust slightly depending on how thin and crispy you like your dosa.
For soft, fluffy Idlis:
If possible, bring the batter to room temperature before steaming. Start heating 2–3 cups of water in your idly vessel and allow the steam to build up. Then fill the moulds and steam for approximately 10–12 minutes.
Don't overcook your idlis. Over-steaming can make them firm and less soft.
For soft appam :
For soft appam with crispy corners, we recommend adding 200 ml of coconut milk to the batter , mix it well. Follow this – > Tawa Appam — [Recipe link]
And here's our favourite secret...

One batter. So many possibilities.
Because good food shouldn't need complicated equipment—just a little creativity.
For the best taste and texture, it is recommended to follow the storage instructions provided on the product packaging rather than freezing the batter. Refrigerate the batter properly and use it within the recommended period.
In case you want the batter to be freezed, it can be frozen, but the texture of the dosa and idly may not be the same once freezed.
Yes, Paneer is made from milk—but “Bio” refers to the quality and origin of the ingredients used to make it.
Garam Foods Bio Paneer is made using organic full-fat milk and organic lemon juice. The milk is sourced from certified EU-Bio and Bioland farmers in the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany.
So, while Paneer itself is traditionally made from milk, Bio Paneer is made using certified organic ingredients and under the requirements of organic production.
Simple ingredients. Organic milk. Traditionally made Paneer.
Our Bio Paneer is made a little differently.
We use organic full-fat milk, so the natural milk fat is retained. We also press our Paneer slightly more firmly to give it a good, substantial texture and help it hold its shape instead of crumbling easily.
So yes, you may notice that our Paneer feels firmer when you first take it out of the pack.
But here's where the magic happens...
Add it to your favourite gravy, and the Paneer absorbs the flavours while becoming wonderfully tender and delicious.
And because we press it firmly, you're getting a denser piece of high protein Paneer rather than a softer, more water-filled texture.
Firm in the pack. Tender in the gravy. That's the Garam Foods way.
Simple.. Milk solid caramelisation as it is done at your home.. Our ghee is slow cooked and we make sure every milk solids are fully caramelized to give you the aroma and the flavour.
Absolutely! There’s so much you can make with Garam Foods.
