Ghughra ice cream – Inspired by Ghughra, little pockets of pastry filled with a nutty, milky and cardamom spiced mixture. Single origin cardamom layered in freshly ground almonds and cashews, and mixing in the traditional ghughra trio of milk powder, ghee and sugar.
Puran Poli ice cream – This ice cream takes the sweetened lentil bread, to a new level, with pieces of toasted, ghee-topped roti.
Ras Malai ice cream cake – The iconic dessert is turned into an ice cream cake. We use the best Sach Foods organic paneer and blend it in our saffron ice cream, which is then sandwiched between our rose and cardamom cakes. It’s a milky and satisfying take on a celebrated sweet.
Parle G. Masala Chai ice cream sandwiches – The popular and nostalgic Indian tea biscuit, Parle G, forever served with a cup of chai, sandwiches our signature Masala Chai ice cream (inspired by Pooja’s family chai recipe). They’re bite-sized deliciousness, and one is never enough! Back by popular demand, these have returned from past celebration boxes!

Teach your little ones about Diwali, the festival of lights, with this creative kit that includes paintable coasters, felt pieces to make a toran and more.
Twenty-nine-year-old Niki Randhawa has always made practical decisions. Despite her love for music and art, she became an analyst for the stability. She's always stuck close to home, in case her family needed her. And she's always dated guys that seem good on paper, rather than the ones who give her butterflies. When she's laid off, Niki realizes that practical hasn't exactly paid off for her. So for the first time ever, she throws caution to the wind and books a last-minute flight for her friend Diya’s wedding.
Niki arrives in India just in time to celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights, where she meets London musician Sameer Mukherji. Maybe it's the splendor of Mumbai or the magic of the holiday season, but Niki is immediately drawn to Sam. At the wedding, the champagne flows and their flirtatious banter makes it clear that the attraction is mutual.
When Niki and Sam join Diya, her husband and their friends on a group honeymoon, their connection grows deeper. Free-spirited Sam helps Niki get in touch with her passionate and creative side, and with her Indian roots. When she gets a new job offer back home, Niki must decide what she wants out of the next chapter of her life—to cling to the straight and narrow like always, or to take a leap of faith and live the kind of bold life the old Niki never would have dreamed of.
