empowering women since 1953 Urmi was founded in 1953 at Atul (Valsad, Gujarat) to empower women from rural areas by creating employment opportunities for them. Production of sun dried and iron pounded spices was introduced in the early 1960s and is an intrinsic part of our story today - our process focuses on bringing into being age-old traditional techniques of spice making. In addition to spices prepared by us, we also source other products made using indigenous methods and sustainable practices. In 2018, we set up our first retail store, urmi dukan, at Atul. urmi dukan Near Atul Club Atul 396 020, Gujarat India Ingredients, particularly whole spices, are sourced with care, sun dried and often roasted on a traditional chulha (earthen stove) before production. At Urmi, we iron pound spices. Contrary to the ordinary pulverising method where spices are subject to immense heat, the pounding process is undertaken in smaller batches and with much lower heat release, enabling spices to retain their essential oils and giving them a distinct texture, flavour and aroma. Spice blends are prepared with a 100% homemade recipe and are freshly ground in small batches to retain freshness of ingredients. Quality matters. Our team of women is well trained in each step of the production process. [email protected] (+91) 81403 80444 www.facebook.com/urmistory
