NativeSpecial Snacks & Sweets
Nellai Palm Jaggery Ghee Mysorepak – நெல்லை கருப்பட்டி நெய் மைசூர்பாக்
This Palm Jaggery Mysorepak is made with original Palm Jaggery from the regions of Papanasam and Thoothukudi. The specialty of this sweet is its Grand and unique taste. As the sweetener used is Palm Jaggery it gives a unique taste and flavor, thus providing a better taste than the regular Mysore Pak made with white sugar. Though it is not a traditional sweet the addition of traditional sweetener Palm Jaggery makes it healthier. A perfect grand sweet for Kids, Adults, and Gifting purpose.
We really loved it, as its made of (Palm Jaggery / Panangaruppatti), Calorie-conscious & Diabetic people can be worry-free and eat the same, the taste is actually better than the MysorePak we get in stores, The packing was on point, kudos to Native Special Team, We haven’t seen a better packaging for a Ghee sweet before.

Kallakurichi Chinna Vengaya Murukku (Small Onion Chakli)
Chinna Vengayam (Small onion) has numerous health benefits. Chettiyar community from Kallakkurichi started making this unique kind of Murukku using the paste made of Chinna Vengayam (Small Onions). So far this is only made within families of Kallakurichi. Great snack for your coffee time.
This Murukku from NativeSpecial is very crunchy and super crispy, you get a taste of small onion in each bite you take, the oil used for making this snack is very good, we didn’t get any sort of throat irritation, which happens when we get snacks from local vendors as for keeping the price low, they tend to use lower quality products that not very good for health.
Our Rating: 9/10
Manalmedu Murukku (Handmade Chakli)
Manalmedu Murukku is the spiciest among the Murukku varieties. The thin rounded manalmedu murukku retains the taste of traditional murukku made in villages that every one of us might have tasted during our childhood.
The Murukku/Chakkali was very fresh and crunchy, same as the Onion murukku, it also tastes quite good, although the spice level is medium, it will be great for people who don’t like a lot of spice and want to have a light snack.

NativeSpecial Chekku Oils
Chekku Thengai Ennai ( “No Sulphur” Coconut Chekku Oil)
This Thengai Ennei (Coconut Oil) is made with coconuts that are dried naturally. As most of the Coconuts that are used for getting Thengai Ennei was stored using Sulpher which is not a consumable product. But NativeSpecial brings you the purest Coconut oil made with Coconuts that are not chemically stored.
The coconut oil is pure and healthy, this can be used for cooking as well as applying in hair, we tried to make banana chips using this oil and it was a very good experience the taste was very similar to what you buy from big brand banana chips.

Thooya Chekku Nallennai (“Pure Seasame” Chekku Oil)
“Nallennai” is made with Nattu Ellu and by adding original Karuppatti. The Healthiest oil of our tradition that should be part of our Kitchen.
The Sesame oil is one of its kind, its healthy and tasty and goes with every dish, whether you are making dosa or adding it to podi, We had it with the Murungai (Moringa) podi and rice and it was really good.
NativeSpecial oils are made in chekku, which means they are only made in limited quantity and that to a lot of manual labor goes into it, as its a tedious process but this the traditional way of extracting oil and its pure.
Our Rating : 10/10
“Naatu kadalai” Chekku Kadalai Ennai (Ground nut Chekku Oil)
Traditional Kadalai Ennei made with Nattu Kadalai. Nattu Kadalai is the original traditional variety with the oil content that has a lesser percentage of Cholesterol. Use this Nattu Kadalai Oil for your family and kids to keep them healthy.
Groundnut oil is used in a lot of foods mainly for sauteing, deep-frying, grilling, etc because of its high smoke point, also it adds a tint of peanut flavor to your foods and they smell and taste amazing.
