The word Tocha was inspired by two different languages, to reflect the history and tradition that underpin our sauce-making philosophy.
The TO comes from the Tamil word, Thottukkaradhu, which means “to touch.” This refers to the sauces and accompaniments that traditionally share the table and pair with the main course.
The CHA comes from the Hindi word, Chutney, which derives from the root word chāṭnā, which means “to lick”.
