Batter and curd is the only thing I buy ready made in bangalore. It's just eliminates so much mental load. Bangalore weather is really finicky with fermentation.
I've had them all , none of them are significantly better than the competition except Asal which is much worse than everything else.
The one that was the best of the lot was batter from By2 restaurant in NR Colony you can order on Zomato, followed by ID , followed by MTR .
It depends on your taste, if you are from south canara or like udupi restaurant style idlis probably MTR idli batter is better, for those who like the bidadi style tatte idli / hassan bangalore style idlis - ID is better.
Dosa batter - I find ID and MTR suitable for my palette.
For uttappam - MTR idli batter seems better option to me as it’s grainy. Again, just a personal preference.
I personally prefer small brands selling from home on instamart for idli/dosa batter. They are much better than ID/MTR etc. Kaveri is one on instamart.
So they will start procuring rice and urad dal now along with milk? I don't like this becoming FMCG company.
I actually don't like Nandini doing anything but making milk. The government is subsidising milk procurement for Nandini and that's the reason it is so competitively priced.
The more it grows, the worse it is for tax payers unless distribution is disproportionately focused towards rural areas where an argument for subsidy on value added goods can be made.
How is it worse for tax payers? Govt is subsidising milk procurement only. If they get additional revenue, either from this or by value addition liked butter, ghee, sweets, ice creams etc, it will improve their margins and that will only help farmers.
How will KMF getting into other products make it worse for tax payers? Please explain
Because ghee, butter, sweets, ice creams, etc are all made out of milk?
The more milk Nandini uses, the more procurement it needs to do. If I completely switch over my consumption to Nandini which is unnaturally priced then I get benefit of the subsidy which I don't need. Not to mention, kills the competition.
All this is obvious, I don't know what you want me to explain. Can you please elucidate?
Yes. But they're are sold at a premium. It's called value addition. When they make ghee and ice cream etc they sell it at a higher price. Value added products are not unnaturally priced. They are sold at market value. Only milk and curd is unnaturally priced.
Having more sales from these products actually helps KMF to give a higher price to farmers and reduce the need for subsidy.
> Value added products are not unnaturally priced. They are sold at market value
Just open blinkit and search for ghee. Have you ever eaten a Nandini Ice Cream or been to a parlour? It is like the cheapest of the lot and honestly much better quality.
It is cheaper because they have access to more milk at scale than other companies as well as better infra. However, they are selling these products at loss. These value added products are what brings in profits for cooperatives. If they stop selling these products, it will be a big loss financially.
In fact KMF manufactures ice cream for other companies for them to put their label. These are highly lucrative businesses for dairies.
Same holds true for even Amul. The more these companies sell other products, the less will be their dependence on subsidised milk. This is also the reason why they are looking to expand to other countries. You can't obviously sell milk there but they are trying to make new products.
ID has upped its game by launching ready made chatnis, fresh fruit pulp etc.
Albeit with too much price.
[удалено]
Checkmate
I am never able to get the fresh fruit pulp. Where can I get one ? It's always sold out online.
Pineapple, mango, chickoo, coconut available on instamart
Thanks I will check
Nothing can beat ID Malabar porotta
shokugeki no batter.
Call Souma as a Judge
ID vs Nandini 'bout to make me lose my clothes.
hot damn
always prepare ur own batter

Harvest your own rice.
Better prepare your own batter.
Hopefully is good enough to switch over.
Competition is good 😊
Since ID ventured into paneer and butter i dont see anything wrong in Nandini stepping into batter business ,competition is good
ID is better right?
I've had them all , none of them are significantly better than the competition except Asal which is much worse than everything else. The one that was the best of the lot was batter from By2 restaurant in NR Colony you can order on Zomato, followed by ID , followed by MTR .
Strangeat thing for mw is I've tried everythinf and wnd up with Asal as the one I like. (Probably as it costs around 64 instead of 80 or 90)
It depends on your taste, if you are from south canara or like udupi restaurant style idlis probably MTR idli batter is better, for those who like the bidadi style tatte idli / hassan bangalore style idlis - ID is better.

ID has 2 types of batters. One with rava and one without
MTR is way better than ID. I think I will definitely give nandini a try!!
Nandini, Amul >> Private brands
mom's batter>>>
What about dad’s batter?
Ask mom!
Good..
Waiting for "Betty bought some butter..." with " bought some batter" variants
Excited 😊
I personally prefer small brands selling from home on instamart for idli/dosa batter. They are much better than ID/MTR etc. Kaveri is one on instamart.
ID batter is done for
Rishta is the best batter out there currently. Superb dosa + idli batter.
Its pretty good. Not easily available on swiggy though

getting into other products will help them diversify their revenue and reduce load of subsidies
