Every time someone goes out of town from the family, we end up making a huge list of snacks, sweets and other similar things which are prominent in that particular town. Usually, we buy snacks and sweets which are famous in smaller quantities while we are travelling but once it gets over we crave for it because we loved it a way too much. There are also many things which we ate while growing up and still remember the taste of it.
In our hunt for finding things that are native to a region, we found this website 'Place of Origin' where we can get those delicacies again with a click of a button. We were delighted and decided to work together with 'Place of Origin' to showcase some of the favorites.We found that we can get everything from snacks, sweets to pickles from different parts of India. Exciting right?
In our research we ordered a lot of things from the online website and it took us back to our homegrown favorites. I hope you enjoy some of the favorites we have listed. You might find something that you love too. So go ahead and get your senses tickling.
Sweets are an important part of an Indian meal during festivals and special occasions. And what can be better if we can get sweets from some of the famous places around India. Place of origin has a large variety of sweets from different regions of India. Some of our favourites are

Good quality dry fruits are very important to make a dish more flavourful, but we usually suffer getting really good quality ones in the local market. But now you can get them on Place of Origin, as they source their dry fruits from the famous ‘Ramanlal Vithaldas’ in Mumbai who have a 60 year old heritage in sourcing and sorting dry fruits. From Walnut, Almonds to other dry fruits you can find everything here.

Initially, namkeen was one of those snacks which was usually made at home. But with the increasing number of manufacturers coming up with good quality and variety of namkeens, people have started buying it from the market. We all grew up with some favorites and every city has its own variety of namkeen and a few which are very famous for its taste and flavour. One of them is Amba Bhadang, which is prepared by a small family from a town called Jaisinghpur near Kolhapur in Maharashtra. Our other favourites are-
Chanachur
Farali Chevdo
Methi Matrhi
Chocolates and Toffees are probably the best thing in the world and we really can’t decide on which one is our favourite. For a chocolate lover, a place can be heaven where he/she can find a huge variety of chocolates which is usually not available in the local shops. And it can’t get any better when the chocolates are delivered at your doorstep. Our favourites from their wide collection are-

Biscuits are fluffy, tasty, light and the best thing about them is they can be eaten at any time of the day. One thing we miss the most are the traditional Irani biscuits and we were excited when we saw the authentic ones on the ‘Place of Origin’. They have some of the best biscuits from India.

During summer, almost every household in India gets busy in selecting the best raw green mangoes, fruits and other vegetables for the season's lot of pickling, as it makes a great accompaniment with your meals. But, when you live in big cities, it becomes a bit difficult to prepare them at home due to hectic schedules and constant watch. Therefore people have started buying pickles from the market, because there is a huge variety of pickles available. Place of origin has some lip smacking ones from our favourite places.
