Products & specifications
The whole spec sheet, before you ask for it.
Most suppliers make a buyer chase the datasheet. The potato line is published here in full — physical parameters, microbiological limits, nutrition, packing and container loading. Spec sheets for every other line are issued on request, same day.
Start here
Potato flakes, explained in four minutes.
Already buy flakes? Skip to the specification. New to the material? Four minutes here saves a fortnight of emails.
Cooked potato with the water taken out.
Washed, peeled, steam-cooked, mashed, dried in a thin film on a heated drum, milled to the size you order. Nothing added but the shelf-life aid.
That makes it a cooked ingredient. Hot water or milk returns it to mashed potato in under a minute — no peeling, no boiling, no waste, no cold chain. One 20 kg sack carries the usable solids of roughly six times its weight in raw potato.
Naming the wrong one costs a fortnight.
Starch only, protein and fibre washed out. A thickener. Will not rehydrate to mash, carries no potato flavour.
Milled from uncooked potato, so it still needs cooking. Behaves differently in dough from our cooked flour.
Whole dried pieces that rehydrate as visible chunks for soups. Not a mash base, not a binder.
Same cooked base, different dryer. Denser, free-flowing, slower to hydrate. Specify only if your line runs on it today.
Same cooked potato. Two different jobs.

Container planner
Containers are rounded up — the desk quotes full loads only. Raw potato is indicative at a 6.5 : 1 intake ratio and moves with the season and the variety; it is shown so you can see what sits behind your order, not as a costing input.
Yield & rehydration
Ratios are typical starting points for instant mash, not a specification. Confirm against your own bench trial with the free sample — particle size, fat and salt in your recipe all move the number.
Six lines. Send them and a sourced quote comes back inside 48 hours.
- The material and the cut. Flakes or flour, and the particle size or mesh you buy to today.
- What you make with it. One line. It decides which plant runs your order.
- Volume and frequency. Tonnes per shipment and shipments per year — the planner above gives you both.
- Destination port. Freight and documents are quoted from it.
- Incoterm. FOB Mundra, CIF or C&F to your port.
- Any spec you must not break. Moisture ceiling, SO₂ limit, microbiological standard, halal or kosher, label language.
Everything above applies to the potato line. The same structure — what it is, what it is not, what it replaces, what to specify — holds for onion, garlic, ginger, pulps and powders. Ask for the line you need and the sheet comes the same day.

Potato flour1 kg pouchHow the potato line runs — it starts with the right potato.
Only potatoes above 20% solid content enter the line. Low-solid potatoes carry water, not yield — they cost more to dry and finish inconsistently. Intake is checked at the gate and a load that misses the parameters is turned away rather than blended in.
Every truckload checked at delivery against set parameters. Off-spec loads are refused, not downgraded.
Metal detection, then high-pressure jet wash to strip soil and foreign matter so damage is visible for sorting.
Mechanical peeling and a second wash. Peel waste is diverted to the by-product line, not to drain.
Cut to size, then cooked on high-pressure steam. No water enters the cook, so solids stay in the potato.
Cooked potato is mashed to a fluffy mass. Shelf-life additives are dosed at this point.
Drum dryers draw moisture off the mash and form a thin sheet, milled down to the particle size ordered.
Sorted by particle size and density, then filled into lined sacks that keep moisture out through the voyage.
// The line is fully automatic and reconfigurable, so more than one customer specification can run in the same production window.
HS 0712.20 · dried onion
Onion
The volume material of the Gujarat dehydration belt. One base crop, four distinct products — sorted by colour, by cut, and by whether it has been through heat before it reaches you.
- Sliced or diced, hot-air dried, cut to the size you order. Colour graded before drying, not after.
- Fried and toasted onion have been through oil or heat and behave differently in a blend.
- Removes the labour, the waste and the seasonal price swing. Flavour dosed by weight, not by the sack.
- Colour and cut in mm or mesh. Colour drives price more than anything else here.
Minced 1–3 mm · granules
Powder 80–100 meshThe default across seasoning blends, soup bases, dry mixes and ready meals. Cleanest colour of the range.
Granules · powderSpecified where colour carries into the finished product, or where a sharper pungency is wanted.
// Cut sizes are set to your order. Full specification — moisture, ash, microbiological limits, packing and container loading — issued on request.
HS 0712.90 · dried garlic
Garlic
Never bought without onion, and rarely bought on its own. Same cut logic as the onion line, from whole clove down to a fine mill.
- Peeled, dried, cut to flake, granule or powder. Pungency depends on drying discipline, not the crop alone.
- No water, no emulsion, no oleoresin. Dry material for dry dosing, ambient storage.
- The most labour-heavy prep on any line, plus the yield loss and the smell.
- Mesh or flake size and pungency level. Say if allicin retention matters.
// Cut sizes are set to your order. Full specification — moisture, ash, microbiological limits, packing and container loading — issued on request.
HS 0910.11 · ginger
Ginger
The third aromatic. Rounds out the onion–garlic base that every seasoning house and ready-meal kitchen buys together.
- Cleaned, sliced, dried, then cut or milled. Fibre and volatile oil move with the drying curve.
- No solvent extraction. Whole material, so it carries fibre and body as well as heat.
- Removes washing, scraping and grinding, and clears a perishable out of cold storage.
- Mesh or flake size, and whether you buy on volatile oil. Aflatoxin limits vary — name your market.
// Cut sizes are set to your order. Full specification — moisture, ash, microbiological limits, packing and container loading — issued on request.
HS 2008 · 2007 · prepared pulps
Fire-roasted pulps
Flame-roasted, peeled and pulped, then thermally processed — aseptic drum or can, ambient shipment, no cold chain. The base a mezze, sauce or ready-meal manufacturer buys so it never has to roast and peel in its own kitchen.
- Roasted over open flame, pulped, packed aseptically. The char is the product, not a defect.
- A purée is boiled or steamed and tastes it. Roasting adds smoke and sweetness without a flavouring.
- Removes an open-flame step and its inconsistency. Every drum tastes like the last one.
- Roast depth, and drum, pouch or bag-in-box. Ambient or chilled moves freight cost more than material.
Smoke level to requirement
Aseptic drum or canThe base for mutabbal, baba ganoush, dips and frozen curry. Charred over flame, so the smoke is in the pulp — not added afterwards as flavouring.
Roasted or plainSauce bases, mezze, soup and ready meals. Bought on the same order as the aubergine and rarely on its own.
Aseptic, ambientJuice and beverage bottling, dairy, ice cream and bakery. Kesar comes off the Gir belt.
Brix and pack to requirementSend the base you buy to and we process to it — seasoned, unseasoned, drum or can, your label or ours.
// Full specification — brix, pH, viscosity, microbiological limits, pack format and container loading — issued on request.
HS 0712.90 · 0813 · powders
Powders
The same materials milled down. Bought for colour and clean-label function as much as for flavour — a natural colourant that does not have to be declared as an additive.
- Spray-dried or ground from the dried fruit or vegetable, not rebuilt from an extract.
- No carriers, no maltodextrin, no seasoning system unless you ask. Single-ingredient by default.
- Lets a dry blend carry flavour, colour or body that used to need a wet stream.
- Mesh, colour tolerance, and whether your line needs free-flow or takes a fine mill.
// Cut sizes are set to your order. Full specification — moisture, ash, microbiological limits, packing and container loading — issued on request.
Development lines
The lines we are qualifying next.
Straight with you: these are not shipping today. India has the crop and the processing, but almost nobody exports them to a standard a serious buyer accepts. If you buy any of them, send your spec — you will shape which plant we qualify next.
Concentrated oil and oleoresin extracted from the same Gujarat crop already running through our dehydration lines. Standardised on pungency, not just weight.
Buyer: flavour houses, seasoningand nutraceutical formulators
Whole bulbs and peeled cloves aged under controlled heat and humidity until the flavour turns sweet and balsamic. Long ambient shelf life, no cold chain.
Buyer: premium retail, gourmetfoodservice, sauce and dressing
Popped lotus seed from the Bihar wetlands. Graded by size, and grading is done by hand — which is why lots vary so widely between suppliers, and why it needs a desk rather than a trader.
Buyer: health-snack brands,private label, ingredient blenders
Milled from unripe fruit, high in resistant starch and low on the glycemic index. Sold on a nutritional claim, so the specification and the analysis carry the whole sale.
Buyer: diabetic and low-GI brands,gluten-free bakery, formulators
// A named buyer moves a development line to the front of the queue. That is not a sales line — it is how we decide which plant to qualify next.
Not on the list?
Looking for something else?
Those six are what moves most, not the limit of it. If a plant in India processes it and it can be specified, contracted and inspected, it runs through the same gate.
Tomato, carrot, beetroot, cabbage, green chilli, curry leaf, coriander and mint — flake, granule or powder.
Whole and ground single spices, regional masala blends, and private-label seasoning to your formulation.
Mill-grade and food-grade, cleaned and graded to your standard.
Mango, guava, tomato and others — aseptic drum or frozen, by season.
Your artwork, your formulation, your market’s labelling law, packed to retail or foodservice format.
Name it and the destination. If we cannot source it to a standard we would stand behind, we will tell you that instead of trying.
If it is outside what we can hold to standard you get a straight no in 48 hours — still faster than most suppliers say yes.
About Poorti
Poorti · पूर्ति — fulfilment.
In Sanskrit, Poorti means fulfilment, completion, total abundance. We believe food sourcing is complete only when authentic heritage meets uncompromising global food-safety standards. Our name is our promise.
From origin to fulfilment
India is the culinary engine of global flavour. Buying from it shouldn’t be a risk.
For international buyers — restaurant groups, ethnic retail distributors, commercial commissaries — procurement from India is plagued by supply fragmentation, inconsistent batch quality and export-compliance gaps. Buyers want the deep authenticity of Indian food without the operational risk of dealing directly with fragmented processing units. Poorti is not a broker. Poorti is the bridge that completes the supply chain.
Sourcing from accredited Indian processing facilities — BRCGS, FSSC 22000, US FDA-registered, Halal — matched to what your market requires, so audit compliance is complete from day one.
Your on-ground eyes, ears and quality inspectors in Gujarat and Western India — so batch 100 tastes identical to batch 1.
Ready-to-cook and semi-cooked components that cut back-of-house prep labour and reduce commercial kitchen operating costs abroad.
“We bridge the world’s leading food-service operators, retail distributors and commercial kitchens with India’s finest food-processing hubs. With Poorti as your ground sourcing and quality-assurance partner, supplier vetting, international regulatory compliance and batch-level quality control are handled — at one desk.
We don’t just supply food. We deliver operational certainty, authentic culinary excellence, and complete peace of mind.”
And we work in the open: complete transparency, with your desk updated at every step — from the plant floor to your port.
Authentic Origins. Seamless Fulfilment.
The mark
Two hands. One circle. Nothing left open.
Two open hands, meeting — one giving, one receiving. Every shipment is a handover of trust, and the mark puts Poorti permanently inside that moment: between the plant that makes and the buyer who receives.
The hands close into a circle — completion. That is the name: Poorti, fulfilment. A supply chain with no gap in it, no point where responsibility changes hands and gets lost.
The broken arcs radiating inside the ring are supply lines — the signal travelling outward from one desk in Ahmedabad to kitchens and warehouses across the world, and the echo travelling back.
Turmeric-and-flame orange — the colour of the spice floor, of energy and appetite. On a sack, on a container, on a document: one colour that says the desk has touched it.
