What do paper-thin, hand-pulled parotta layers, a tangy puli sauce, and a cooling cucumber raita have in common? ⁠They all show up in this episode of KiCo Cooks. 🫓🔥⁠

⁠
— bold South Indian condiments that turn a simple parotta into something worth the effort.⁠

Ingredients⁠

Puli Nool Parotta⁠

1 cup all-purpose flour⁠
¼ cup water⁠
Pinch of salt⁠
Pinch of sugar (optional)⁠
2–3 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil⁠
1 tsp Khao Puli⁠

Cucumber Raita⁠

1 cucumber⁠
1 cup Greek or Turkish yoghurt⁠
½ tsp salt⁠
2 tsp Khao Tadka⁠

Method⁠

Nool parotta

Mix flour, salt, sugar.
Knead in water till smooth. Ball it up, oil, cover, rest for 1 hour.
Roll thin, slap it and stretch till paper-thin.⁠
Spread Khao Puli. Cut strips, gather, roll into a disc, flatten out.⁠
Fry both sides till golden. Smash it right away because the layers won't separate once it cools.⁠

Raita:

Grate cucumber, salt, squeeze out the water.
Mix into yoghurt with salt + Khao Tadka.
Top with more tadka.⁠ Serve warm, raita on the side.

Getting in the kitchen together. Backing each other when it counted. Pushing each other to keep going.⁠

That's what builds an industry with more independent founders: ambitious ones, gritty ones, and the ones who aren't afraid to ask for help, seek advice, or find inspiration in each other.⁠

Here's to two years of KiCo. Proof that what you put in, you get back and then some 💜

Meet Randy | KiCo Mentor

Blue Zone kid, builder of food companies, grocery distribution, foodservice, manufacturing, brands. He has been on four sides of the same industry.

Randy grew up in California where organic wasn't a label but a default, and has spent his career turning that instinct into infrastructure.

Today he leads Olsen Organic B.V., helping founders, brands, and investors across North America and the EU build products people actually want and supply chains that can carry them.

Curious to know why Randy champions audacity, perserverance and creativity in business?

Great packaging isn't decoration, see it as a strategy.

Samer & Anna share the products that don’t get lost in the noise.

Tag a brand that has their packaging on point.

KiCo Tastes: Ice cream alternatives 🍦⁠

We tried it before you could buy it and here's our verdict:

Ice cream's been a summer staple forever but the industry's gotten more conscious about what we're eating, and founders are finding ways to keep the cold, sweet treat alive without the guilt.⁠

If you're going healthy, we recommend the fruit-based options.⁠

Big props to for delivering a genuinely tasty snack while upcycling bananas. Now we just need that dark chocolate flavor.⁠

Would you actually swap regular ice cream for this, or is the real thing non-negotiable? ⁠

Founders don't book a tour to just see a kitchen. They book it to answer a question they can't answer from a website: Is this the right fit?

Come see the equipment. Meet the people already building here. Ask the questions you've been sitting on 💜
