We're not here to solve problems, we're here to take you on a fun, tasty adventure through the Indian snack culture and we hope you'll come along for the ride.

Ladoo [lud-doo] here is a Nilgiri Marten which hails from the Western Ghats in India and he's here to take you on his little rickshaw for a fun adventure. He's named after the Indian sweets our snackmaker used to mix into his spicy snacks as a kid instead of chocolate. He's packed snacks for the ride, so what are you waiting for, hop in!

When you visit an Indian home for the first time, the host will offer you chai and snacks. At Doosra [doos-ra] we offer a modern take on the snacks we're so used to enjoying.

There are layers to our name. Doosra means different and like our snacks offer something outside tradition. Doosra also means second because you'll be craving a second bite. And for the cricket fans, Doosra is a curveball that is unexpected, just like the sweetness that in our mixes.

Our snacks are a combination of traditional Indian flavors & ingredients combined with sweet indulgent elements to bring you a snack where there's something different in every bite.

We started in farmers markets sharing our food and flavors with New Yorkers and now that we're Desi & NYC approved, we'll be bringing Doosra to more stores across the country.

We're proudly made in Queens, New York in small batches. #madeinnyc

I'm a 3rd culture kid who was born in the South of India, grew up in Singapore, became an adult in New York City and went to French culinary school in London. My food influences are a mish-mash of the deilcious food I've been exposed to alongside the nostalgic flavors, aromas and textures that remind me of the snacks & meals my mother made at home.

Doosra embodies who I am, the kid who always felt different yet so incredibly proud of the culture and cuisine I represented. Our snacks are my expression of gratitude for everyone who's willing to overlook the tropes & stereotypes of Indian food and let the spices take the wheel.

I'm in this to spread joy through food, culture & flavor. I'm glad you're along for the ride!
