Kashmiri Dried Tomatoes (Ruwangan Hachi) 250gm

Ruwangan Hachi are traditional Kashmiri sun-dried tomatoes prepared from ripe, juicy local tomatoes that have been sliced and dehydrated under natural sunlight. This age-old preservation technique comes from the Kashmiri practice of Hokh Syun—sun-drying vegetables to store and enjoy them throughout the long winter months. 

Key Features

• Authentic & Natural: Made from ripe tomatoes with no artificial preservatives—simply sun-dried to intensify flavour and extend shelf life.

• Distinct Taste & Texture: Chewy texture with a tangy, slightly sour flavour that’s characteristic of dried tomatoes from the Kashmir Valley. 

• Culinary Use:
  – Can be rehydrated and added to curries, stews, and gravies to impart a deep tomato flavour.
  – Often soaked or powdered and used as a flavour booster in traditional Kashmiri dishes or modern recipes (like tomato sauces, pasta, or chutneys).
  – Essential in regional dishes like Ruwangan Hachi Chaman (sun-dried tomato & paneer curry). 

• Storage: Keeps well for several months when stored in a cool, dry place or refrigerated in an airtight container. 

• Nutrition: Sun-dried tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, fibre, and antioxidants (notably lycopene), offering flavour along with nutritional benefits. 

Why It’s Special
Unlike commercially dried tomatoes from other regions, Ruwangan Hachi reflects Kashmir’s traditional culinary heritage—bringing with it the taste of summer sun and deep, tangy aroma that elevates both rustic and modern dishes.
