For years, the Indian snacks sold in American grocery stores were almost all imported — produced months before they reached the shelf, and preserved to survive the trip. In 2006, we decided stores and families deserved fresher, and started manufacturing in Texas.
Today RTI manufactures pani puri, papdi, gathiya, and spiced puris on our own lines and ships them within days of production — to Indian grocery stores across the country through our distributor partners. The difference shows up where it matters: the shells pop, the puri stays light, and nothing on the ingredient list is there to buy shelf life.
Twenty years in, we’re still family-run, and the standard hasn’t moved: if we wouldn’t serve it at our own table, it doesn’t leave the building.
