Our Story
Before Dhivi & Co., there was simply Prasi’s kitchen.
Founder
Prasi is a mom of two not-so-little girls.
Her daughters were never particularly interested in sweets or overly sugary desserts. They enjoyed homemade cakes, but mithai (sweet treats) was often left untouched.
But there was one thing they consistently loved: their mom’s homemade dry fruit laddoos.
Over the years, those laddoos became part of ordinary family life.
A laddoo before school.
A laddoo packed for a busy day.
A laddoo after coming home.
A laddoo offered to grandparents.
A laddoo made when someone needed something filling, nourishing, and comforting.
And it wasn’t just her own family that came to love them.
Laddoos found their way to friends during those early postpartum days — something nourishing to help them feel stronger, support their recovery, and remind them they were cared for.
They made their way to friends’ kids who played sports and needed something wholesome to keep them going through busy, active days.
And they reached friends who simply needed a little love — a small, homemade reminder to pause, recharge, and feel cared for.
“That’s what these laddoos became: Prasi’s way of taking care of people.”
Prasi kept refining her recipes, using ingredients she grew up seeing in Indian kitchens — nuts, seeds, grains, lentils, dried fruits, ghee, cardamom, gond katira, makhana, coconut, jaggery, and millets.
That was the whole idea. Not a gap in the market. Not a business plan. Just something that was already happening in one kitchen, made with care and shared with the people she loved.
Today, Dhivi & Co. brings those same recipes, care, and tradition to other families through limited, small-batch monthly drops.
Every batch is measured, mixed, rolled, and packed by hand, the very week it goes out. Nothing sits in a warehouse. Nothing is mass-produced.
There is no factory behind this. There is a woman in Michigan, a scale, a heavy pan, and two daughters who will tell her honestly when a batch isn’t quite right. And that’s exactly how we want it.
The process
Measured. Mixed. Rolled. Packed. By hand.
Ingredients
Sorted and weighed the day before. Nothing pre-mixed.
Grinding
Roasted and ground in small amounts so nothing turns bitter.
Mixing
Warm ghee and sweetener last, by feel rather than by timer.
Rolling
Rolled by hand, which is why no two are exactly alike.
Packing
Boxed the same day, labeled with what is inside and who it was for.
There are easier ways to make a snack.
Prasi makes them the way she makes them for her daughters.
“Made by a mom who was making them long before there was a label on the box.”
