At Ambika Appalam, we believe that a perfect South Indian meal isn’t complete without the right blend of “crunchy” condiments. Drawing from years of experience serving countless satisfied customers, we pride ourselves on authentic recipes passed down through generations. Our commitment to Indian traditions shines through in every bite, capturing the essence of home-cooked meals that remind us of warm, loving kitchens. This dedication to flavor has won us hearts not just in India, but across the globe.
Every successful venture begins with a simple idea. Our journey began in the pre-Independence era of 1920, in the charming streets of Triplicane. Observing the enjoyment people found in hearty South Indian meals, our founder recognized a need for the perfect crunchy accompaniment. This led to the creation of papadams and appalams, a local favorite. What started as a humble family endeavor flourished into a thriving enterprise under the vision of Mr. K.A. Velayudhan, who established the Ambika Appalam brand in 1976. Today, with multiple outlets and decades of loyal customers, we continue to blend regional flavors with innovative food practices.
We are passionate about sharing the authentic taste of India with the world. If you’re eager to explore the best of Indian culinary delights, we’re just an email away!
Our retail journey began in 2007 with Ambika Retail Pvt. Ltd, followed by the introduction of our signature podis in 2012. We believe that growth thrives on collaboration, and we welcome anyone interested in joining the Ambika Appalam family. Our doors are always open for new partnerships!
