Arth: purpose, meaning
The idea

Cooking that means something

Arth is a project by Ekta Maheshwari, bringing Indian and Indian-inspired food to Toronto's markets using fermented and seasonal ingredients, shaped by what Ontario farmers grow.

01

Fermented

Time does the work. Batters rest and rise for flavour and digestibility.

02

Seasonal

The menu follows the farmers, so it changes with the weather.

03

Local grains

Red fife, millets and wild rice sit alongside the traditional rice and lentils.

Placeholder Ekta would add her own story here, in her own words.
