Our Story
Journey of our GI-tagged, unpolished Toor Dal — from Tandur’s fields to your family’s meals!
I’m Shivani Naik, a third-generation entrepreneur from Tandur, Telangana — a land blessed with rich black soil, a legacy of farming, and a deep connection to Toor Dal.
My grandfather, S. Naik, and my father, G. Naik, dedicated their lives to cultivating premium-grade Toor Dal with care, honesty, and tradition. Growing up among farmers, I saw firsthand the love and labor that went into each harvest — and the pride they carried in producing dal that nourished families across the region.
I founded Tandur Gold as a tribute to my family’s legacy and to give our farmers the platform they deserve. Our mission is simple yet powerful:
Bring the world’s attention to Tandur’s GI-Tagged Toor Dal — unpolished, nutrient-rich, and grown in harmony with nature.
What Makes Tandur Gold Special?
🌾 Grown in GI-Tagged Tandur
Our dal comes exclusively from the Geographical Indication (GI)-tagged region of Tandur — known for producing Toor Dal with unmatched flavor, texture, and purity thanks to its unique climate and soil.
🌿 Unpolished. Uncompromised.
We do not polish our dal. No chemicals. No artificial processing. Just pure, unrefined Toor Dal — rich in fiber, nutrients, and natural taste.
🧵 Sustainably Packed in Jute
Each pack comes in eco-friendly jute bags — reusable and plastic-free — honoring both the earth and our farming practices.
🌍 Rooted in India, Available Globally
Whether you're in Hyderabad or Houston, Tandur Gold brings a piece of home to your kitchen.
This isn’t just a food product. It’s a story of soil, soul, and sustainability — one that began in the farms of Tandur and now reaches your plate.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
