Real Indian food, made without the top 9 allergens. No seed oils. No compromise on flavor.
Shop Masala Kichadi — $9.99
No peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, or sesame. Built this way from the start, not adapted after the fact.
No canola, sunflower, vegetable, or soybean oil. A decision we made at the beginning and haven't moved from.
Rinse, add water, walk away. No chopping, no prep, no wondering if it's safe for the table.
This isn't a bland substitute built around what it's missing. It's Kalpana's mother's recipe, made safe.
Small-batch, in a real kitchen at Hope & Main — not a factory line.
Kalpana built this brand because she couldn't find food that was both clean enough and real enough. Neither could a lot of families.

I built Kay's Curries because I couldn't find healthy, authentic Indian food that met my own standards during long work hours. I had food allergies. I loved Indian food. Nothing on the shelf was both clean enough and real enough.
So I went back to her recipes. Every ingredient in this bag traces back to her kitchen in Andhra Pradesh.
