Order by 11:00 PM for delivery the next morning between 7–10 AM, or at a time you choose — tell us the time when you order. Anything placed after the cut-off automatically moves to the following morning. We hold the cut-off firm because we buy at the mandi at 4 AM against confirmed orders only — that is what keeps wastage, and therefore prices, low.

No — there is no Rozbasket app to download. Rozbasket runs entirely on WhatsApp — scan the QR code at your society gate, or tap any "Order on WhatsApp" button on this site, and you're ordering in one message. You can send a list, a voice note, or just say "same as last Sunday." There is no app to install, no account to create and no password to remember.

Yes — you can order in Hindi, Telugu or English, typed or as a voice note, and mix them freely in one message. A message like "kal subah 2 litre doodh, 12 ande aur thoda taaza tomato bhej dena" or "రేపు ఉదయం పాలు, గుడ్లు పంపండి" is understood correctly, priced, and sent back to you as a confirmation you approve before anything is charged. Our delivery staff and account managers speak all three.

Yes — home orders on Rozbasket have a minimum of ₹699, and every order that meets it is delivered free. A morning delivery only works as a basket rather than a single item, so most households order fruit, vegetables, milk, eggs and curd together, usually ₹700 to ₹1,000; below ₹699, add a few essentials to your basket to make the delivery worthwhile. Every basket on the site can be changed item by item before you place it. Businesses order in bulk on a quoted standing order, so the household minimum does not apply to them.

Your order is delivered to a single agreed drop point at your society — usually the gate, clubhouse or lobby — between 7–10 AM. Orders arrive sorted by block and flat number in labelled reusable baskets, so collection takes seconds. Societies that prefer door delivery can opt in, and we do that where the community's rules allow it.

Orders travel in branded reusable baskets that we collect on the next morning's run, so there is no per-order plastic bag. Anything left unsold is either returned to the supplier under our buy-back arrangement or routed to a local partner rather than thrown away. Reducing wastage isn't a sustainability slogan for us — unsold perishables are our single largest avoidable cost.

You pay by UPI on a payment link sent in the WhatsApp chat once you confirm your order. There's no card to store and no wallet to top up. Business accounts can be set up on weekly or fortnightly invoicing instead.

Yes — any order can be repeated on a schedule you choose, such as every Monday and Thursday. We send you a one-tap confirmation the evening before each scheduled delivery, so nothing is ever charged without you approving it, and you can skip, pause or edit a basket from the same chat.

Yes — there are two standing puja baskets, and both can be customised. The Daily Puja basket carries loose flowers, mango leaves, betel leaves and betel nut, coconut, chandan, agarbatti, camphor and kumkum-haldi; the Shiva Abhishekam basket carries belpatra, dhatura, cow dung cakes, coconut, chandan, betel leaves and betel nut, gangajal, gau mootra, milk and curd for Mondays and Shivratri. You can add or drop any item over WhatsApp, and set either to repeat weekly so it simply arrives.

Yes, and it is the cheapest way to buy from us. Neighbours can split a bulk pack — a 10 kg onion bag across three flats, or a 25 kg rice bag across four — and we deliver it as one drop at your society gate. Send the combined list on WhatsApp with how you want it split, and we pack each share separately and labelled, so nobody has to divide a sack in the lobby.

Producers are paid per consignment on agreed terms, not when the last packet sells — Rozbasket buys the stock rather than taking it on sale-or-return. The quantity and the price per unit are agreed in writing before a producer makes her first paid batch, and the quantity for each week is confirmed to her before she starts making it. That is only possible because Rozbasket collects household orders the night before and knows what a society will take, so the demand is real rather than a forecast.

Yes — there is no exclusivity in Rozbasket Saheli, so you keep every customer you already have and go on selling wherever else you sell. The weekly quantity we agree is bought on top of whatever you sell yourself, not instead of it, and you keep your own recipe; nothing stops you selling under your own name elsewhere. Most women who write to us are already doing exactly this — making something good for a circle of neighbours and running out of ways to reach anyone past that circle. You can also supply more than one product: tell us everything you make and we will taste all of it before deciding what to start with.

We exploit density instead of speed. A quick-commerce order is one rider, one trip, one customer; our morning route is one vehicle serving an entire society, where 80 orders share a single trip to a single gate. That collapses the delivery cost per order, and knowing every order the night before means we buy exactly what was sold — so we carry almost no wastage on perishables. Those two savings are the entire pricing advantage.

Yes — business accounts can lock weekly pricing on core vegetables and staples instead of paying the daily mandi rate. Because we forecast demand across every society and business we serve, we buy at volume and can absorb short-term price swings that would otherwise land on your food cost.

Rozbasket stocks around 108 everyday essentials across dairy, breakfast, vegetables, fruits, staples, household, millets & health and puja. That is a deliberate choice, not a limitation — a short, fast-moving list is what lets us buy fresh every morning, price sharply and carry almost no dead stock. Business customers can request items outside the standard list.

Prices on this site are list prices for graded produce delivered to your gate, checked against the Hyderabad mandi rate and published Telangana retail averages, and they are re-checked as those move. We are not the cheapest source in the city and we do not claim to be — an ungraded pushcart at the corner is cheaper, and it should be. What you are paying for is stock picked at 4 AM the same morning, sorted and graded, carried to your gate with no delivery fee on a basket over ₹699, and replaced without argument if anything is below standard. Against quick commerce, where the same produce has usually sat in a dark store for one to three days, we are both fresher and lower priced.

Your produce is bought the same morning it reaches you, usually about 3–6 hours before it arrives at your gate. We are at the Hyderabad mandi from 4 AM buying against orders that closed at 11:00 PM the previous night, so we purchase only what is already sold and store nothing. There is no warehouse and no dark store in the chain — the crate goes from the mandi to the sorting hub to your society drop point the same morning. If anything arrives below standard, send a photo on WhatsApp and it is refunded or replaced on the next morning's delivery.

Grade B costs roughly 25% less than Grade A on the same vegetable, from the same crate, sorted before dispatch. On a recent morning (6 September 2026) bottle gourd (lauki / sorakaya) went out at ₹200 for 15 pcs in Grade A against ₹150 in Grade B, and cabbage (patta gobhi) at ₹20 a kilo against ₹15. Grade A is uniform, unblemished and colour-matched for anything a guest sees whole; Grade B is sound produce with cosmetic variation, which makes no difference once it is chopped, boiled or curried. Those figures are illustrative rather than a price list — mandi rates move every morning, and a business account is quoted against its own volume and then locked for the week.

Yes — wholesale vegetable rates in Hyderabad move every single morning, which is precisely why a business account is priced weekly instead of daily. Rates shift with arrivals at the wholesale market, with rain and heat (which decide both how much is harvested and how much of it grades A), with festival weeks, and with the season, so a vegetable can halve over three weeks and double back. We quote your list per item and per grade, hold that price for the week, and absorb the movement in between — so a mandi spike lands on us rather than on your food cost. We deliberately do not publish a full rate card, because one that is accurate on Monday is wrong by Thursday.

Yes — the Rozbasket business supply menu is a single-page PDF listing 123 items across 10 categories, free to download at https://rozbasket.com/Rozbasket-Business-Menu.pdf. It covers everyday vegetables, gourds & seasonal, aromatics & chillies, leafy greens & herbs, fruits, dairy & eggs, bakery & breads, rice & grains, dal & pulses and atta & flours. There are no prices printed on it on purpose: wholesale rates move every morning, so a printed figure would be wrong within a week. Send your list on WhatsApp instead and we quote it per item and per grade, then hold that price for the week. Items outside the sheet can usually be sourced — it is what we supply routinely, not the limit of what we can get.

Yes — the Rozbasket full menu is a two-page PDF listing every item we deliver, grouped by category, free to download at https://rozbasket.com/Rozbasket-Menu.pdf. It covers dairy, breakfast, vegetables, fruits, staples, household, millets & health and puja, with the Hindi and Telugu name under each item. There are deliberately no prices printed on it: vegetables, fruit and flowers are bought at the mandi every morning and their rates move with the market, so a printed figure would be wrong within days. Message us on WhatsApp for today's rate on anything on the sheet — and on a standing order we hold that price for the week. The current prices for everything are always on https://rozbasket.com/catalog.

For the sthapana morning a Hyderabad household typically needs garika (durva grass), banana leaves for the mandapam, mango leaves for the toran, a marigold garland, loose flowers, a coconut, betel leaves and betel nut, bananas, chandan, agarbatti, camphor, cotton wicks, kumkum and haldi, kalava and a janeu — which is exactly what the Rozbasket Ganesh Chaturthi basket carries, at ₹897 delivered free. If you are doing the full Vinayaka Vratam you also need the ekavimshati patri, the twenty-one leaves, which comes as one tied set at ₹350; the Rozbasket Vinayaka Vratam basket is the same basket with that set added, at ₹1,247. Patri is seasonal and reliably available only around Vinayaka Chavithi, so order it two or three nights ahead. Either basket is fully editable before you place it — drop anything you already have, add more garlands, change quantities.

Daily puja through the ten days needs fresh flowers, a coconut, agarbatti, camphor and fruit for the naivedyam — the Rozbasket Daily Puja basket covers exactly that and can be set to repeat each morning so it simply arrives. Nimajjanam falls on Friday, 25 September in 2026; order flowers and a final coconut two nights ahead, because the flower market on visarjan morning is not a place to be improvising. Anything can be paused or changed with one WhatsApp message.

The three differ by the milk they are set from, and that is the whole of it. Regular paneer is set from toned milk at ₹400 a kilo; malai paneer is set from full cream milk, which is why it is softer and richer, at ₹550 a kilo; A2 paneer is set from single-source desi cow milk at ₹1100 a kilo. A kilo of paneer takes roughly six to seven litres of milk, so the price ladder is really the milk ladder — nothing is added and nothing is stretched. All three are made only from milk and an acid: Rozbasket does not sell analogue or non-dairy paneer, which FSSAI requires be labelled as such and never sold as paneer. Each is one product priced by the kilo, and sold in whatever quantity you want — 250 g, 500 g or five kilos, at the same rate per kilo.

Khoa — also called khoya or mawa — is milk reduced slowly over a low flame until most of the water has evaporated, leaving a dense solid used as the base of most Indian sweets. It takes roughly four to five litres of milk to make a kilo, which is where the price comes from rather than from anything added to it. Rozbasket sells it in a 250 g pack, unsweetened at ₹110 and sweetened at ₹115, made fresh and delivered on the morning route. It is not made from split or spoiled milk: splitting milk gives chhena and paneer, which is a different product entirely. Unsweetened is the one to order if you are making your own mithai and want to control the sugar.

The honest answer is that it depends on what you are cooking, which is why Rozbasket sells three paneers instead of naming one the best. For a gravy or a bhurji, regular paneer at ₹400 a kilo is the right product — it is set from toned milk and the difference disappears the moment it goes into masala. For paneer tikka, a butter masala where the paneer is the dish, or anything eaten in visible cubes, malai paneer at ₹550 a kilo is softer and richer because it is set from full cream milk. A2 paneer at ₹1100 a kilo is for people who want A2 specifically; a kilo takes six to seven litres of A2 milk, so the price follows the milk rather than the label. All three are set fresh the night before delivery from milk and an acid only — no analogue, no non-dairy substitute — and all three come in a 200 g pack or a 1 kg pack at the same rate per kilo.

Yes — buffalo milk is stocked at ₹120 a litre, alongside toned milk, full cream cow milk and A2 desi cow milk. Buffalo milk runs around 6-7% fat against roughly 3.5% in cow milk, so it sets thicker curd and yields more paneer per litre, which is why many South Indian kitchens ask for it by name. It arrives on the same morning route as everything else — there is no separate milk subscription and no delivery fee.

Yes — Rozbasket sells bulk packs at 10-15% below the per-unit retail price, delivered to your gate on the same next-morning schedule. Bulk sizes include 10 kg onion and potato bags, 25 kg rice, 10 kg atta, 5 L cans of sunflower and cold pressed mustard oil, and 5 kg fruit boxes of apple, orange, sweet lime and pomegranate. There is no membership and no delivery fee — the saving comes from buying one large lot at the mandi instead of many small ones, which costs us less to handle.

Yes — Rozbasket supplies wholesale quantities to kirana stores, tiffin centres, messes, hostels, canteens and PGs across Hyderabad, delivered before opening time. Wholesale accounts get weekly locked pricing on core vegetables and staples, choice of grade per item, consolidated GST invoicing weekly or fortnightly, and a named account manager on WhatsApp rather than a call centre. Send your typical weekly requirement and we come back with indicative pricing within one working day.

Cold pressed mustard oil is crushed mechanically at low temperature with nothing added, while refined oil is heat-extracted and then bleached and deodorised. That processing is why refined oil is pale and almost odourless and why cold pressed oil is dark gold and sharp in the nose — the pungency is the mustard compounds still being present. Cold pressed keeps more of the natural antioxidants and omega-3, has a lower smoke point, and costs more per litre because the yield from the same seed is smaller. For tadka, achaar, Bengali and Bihari cooking, and for body massage, cold pressed is the one people ask us for.

A2 milk comes from cows whose milk carries only the A2 form of beta-casein, while ordinary packet milk is pooled from mixed herds and contains both A1 and A2. In practice the differences that matter to a household are these: A2 milk here is single-source and unhomogenised rather than pooled from many suppliers, it is roughly twice the price of packet full cream milk, and people who find regular milk sits heavily often report it does not. It is not a medicine and we will not claim it cures anything — if regular milk suits your household, the packet milk is the better buy.

Right now Rozbasket stocks only imported navel oranges, at ₹350 a kilo for 1 kg (~4 pcs). They are large, seedless, easy to peel and shipped in cold chain from Australia, Egypt or South Africa, and that freight and handling is most of what you are paying for. Local santra is a genuinely different fruit rather than a cheaper grade of the same one — smaller, seeded, sharper in flavour and a fraction of the price — but it is strongly seasonal, and we would rather not list it than list it and quietly substitute a navel when it runs out. If you want santra, ask on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly whether it is in season and what it would cost that morning.

Yes — Rozbasket sells A2 paneer set from single-source desi cow milk at ₹1100 a kilo, in whatever quantity you want rather than a fixed pack. The price follows the milk rather than the label: a kilo of paneer takes roughly six to seven litres of milk, and at ₹160 a litre for A2 that is most of the cost before anyone has set or pressed it. Malai paneer, set from full cream milk, is ₹550 a kilo and regular paneer set from toned milk is ₹400 — regular is the better buy unless you specifically want A2, and we would rather say so than sell you the expensive one by default.

Jowar roti is jowar (sorghum) flour, water and salt; bajra roti is bajra (pearl millet) flour, water and salt. There is no maida, no refined flour, no preservative and no palm oil in either. Each pack of 10 carries the date it was made, and the rotis keep two to three days refrigerated — freeze them if you want longer, and thaw before you put them on the tawa. Because there is nothing in them to extend shelf life, they are made against confirmed orders rather than held in stock.

Take them out of the fridge about ten minutes before you eat, then put them on a hot dry tawa for thirty to forty seconds a side. No oil is needed and no dough is involved. They puff slightly and the char marks darken when they are ready; add ghee at the end if you like. A pack of 10 is roughly two to three people at one meal.

No — it is ordinary groceries, curated. Rozbasket does not sell formulated or medical foods, does not claim any product prevents, treats or manages diabetes, and is not a substitute for medical or dietetic advice. What we do is stock whole millets, high-fibre vegetables, unsweetened dairy and whole legumes, and put them together in one basket so somebody cooking around blood sugar does not have to rebuild the same shopping list every week. If you want the basket adjusted to a plan your dietitian has given you, send it to us on WhatsApp and we will match it item by item.

Yes — Rozbasket stocks jowar flour, bajra flour and ragi flour in 1 kg packs, and foxtail millet (korralu) by the kilo for cooking in place of rice, alongside kala chana, sprouted moong, tofu, almonds, walnuts, flax seeds, chia seeds and raw peanuts. They arrive on the same next-morning delivery as the rest of your order, with no separate minimum. If you would rather not roll the dough at all, the fresh jowar and bajra rotis are the same grain, already made.

Send Rozbasket a WhatsApp message on +91 62970 57698 or an email to hello@rozbasket.com describing what you make, how much you can make in a day, and where you are based. If it is shelf-stable — pickles, podis and spice powders, millet flours, papad and vadiyalu, dry snacks, honey or jaggery — we taste it, visit the place it is made, and run a trial batch into two societies before anything is agreed. You do not need a brand, a website, packaging, a shop or any e-commerce experience: Rozbasket does the packing, labelling, photography, listing, delivery and customer service, and you make the product. The one thing that has to be yours is an FSSAI registration in your own name.

Yes — under the FSS (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations every food business in India needs at minimum an FSSAI registration, and it must be held by the person who actually manufactures the food. A small home unit with annual turnover up to ₹12 lakh normally needs only Basic Registration, which is filed on Form A and costs about ₹100 per year; above that it becomes a State Licence. Rozbasket cannot list your product under our licence number, because the law puts that obligation on the manufacturer — but if you join Rozbasket Saheli we will sit with you and fill the form. Confirm the current thresholds and fees on fssai.gov.in before you file.
