Himalayan titaura · batch no. 07

Sweet.
Sour.
Fire.

Ripe hill plums, sun-dried for eleven days, then cured with red chilli, rock salt and jaggery. Nothing else goes in. It has been made this way in the eastern Himalaya for generations — we just put it in a good pouch.

A pouch of Twaka Co Plumberry Titaura in warm afternoon light Batch
No. 07
01 — The fruit

Hill plums, picked ripe

Sourced from orchards between 1,200 and 2,000 m. Picked at full colour, never green-picked for shelf life. That is where the sourness comes from.

02 — The cure

Eleven days of sun

Trays go out at dawn and come in before the dew. No dehydrators, no ovens. Slow drying is what makes the texture chewy instead of brittle.

03 — The list

Eight ingredients. Full stop.

Plum, jaggery, sugar, red chilli, rock salt, black salt, lemon, cumin. No preservatives, no colour, no glucose syrup, no anti-caking agents.

One product

We make exactly one thing,
and we make it well.

No seasonal flavours, no variety packs, no twelve-SKU shelf. A single pouch of Plumberry Titaura, produced in runs of 400, each batch tasted before it leaves the kitchen.

Four steps, no shortcuts

The whole run takes about three weeks from orchard to pouch. Most of that is waiting for the sun to do its job.

  1. Step one

    Sort & destone

    Every plum is checked by hand. Bruised fruit goes to the compost, not the batch.

  2. Step two

    Sun-dry on bamboo

    Laid out on woven trays, turned twice a day, brought in before evening damp.

  3. Step three

    Cure with the masala

    Folded through chilli, jaggery and the two salts, then rested 48 hours to marry.

  4. Step four

    Weigh, seal, ship

    100 g into a food-grade zip pouch, nitrogen-flushed, batch-stamped, dispatched.

★★★★★

Tastes exactly like the titaura my grandmother used to send down from Kalimpong. The chilli actually bites. Finished the pouch in two days, which was a mistake.

I was worried it would be another sugar bomb. It isn't — it's genuinely sour first, sweet second. The packaging is lovely too, I gifted three.

Excellent product, arrived in four days to Kochi. Only note: I'd happily buy a 250 g pack. The 100 g does not last in this house.
