Kay's Story

Every Kay's Curries kit traces back to my mother's kitchen in India. Kichadi was the dish she made when someone needed comfort quickly. No fuss, no ceremony, just rice and lentils cooked soft with good spices and served hot. I grew up eating it when I was unwell, when I was homesick, and when dinner needed to happen fast. It is the dish I come back to when I need something real. This kit is that dish made allergen free, seed oil free, and designed to travel wherever you go. Made small batch at Hope and Main in Warren, RI. Never a factory. Always from scratch. Kalpana

Kay's Curries was born out of a need I had inspired by the dry American soup mixes. Just add water and cook. Our meals are all natural with no preservatives and cater to most dietary restrictions - vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free, and sesame-free. They are also great for camping and traveling.

Can I make it more filling? Yes. Serve with a fried or poached egg on top if you eat eggs, or add a side of yogurt or dairy free yogurt. You can also stir in a handful of fresh spinach right after cooking for extra vegetables.

Does it come in a spicier version? No. Masala Kichadi is our mildest kit. For more heat, try the Vegetable Biryani or the Chicken Biryani.

How do I store leftovers? Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Add a splash of water when reheating and stir well, as kichadi thickens as it cools.

Why do I need to discard whole spices? The spice blend includes whole spices like cloves and cinnamon that release flavor during cooking but are not meant to be eaten. Remove them before serving or let people know to set them aside on their plate.
