About Homemade Indian Pickles (Achar)
Why Our Achar Feels Like Home
We make pickles jaisa ghar pe bante hain (like they're made at home) - small batches, full of memories, no shortcuts. Every jar has that 'maa ke haath ka swaad' (taste from mom's hands) you grew up loving.
Real Ingredients, Old-School Methods
- No chemicals, no fake colors, no weird preservatives. What you see is what you get.
- Lots of our achars are oil-free, and some totally bina tel ke (no oil at all) - real deal for anyone watching health.
- Recipes come straight from dadi-nani ke nuskhe (grandma’s pickle secrets). Sun-dried in 'suraj ki dhoop' (sunshine), just how it’s always been done.
Pickle Collection Highlights
- Homemade mango pickle - spicy, sweet, or with heeng tadka (asafoetida tempering).
- Lemon achar, khatta-meetha (sweet and sour), 100% oil-free, fermented slow and natural.
- Stuffed red chilli and green chilli for those who love teekha (heat).
- Mixed veggie, lahsun (garlic), and kathal (jackfruit) - all packed with punch.
Why Try Us
We’re not a big brand, just people putting heart and hustle into every jar. Sometimes we slip in free samples so you can try something new. If you want swad ka jhatka (jolt of flavor) with proper traditional achar recipes, you’ll find it here.

Achari Adda
My Story
Namaste, I’m Megha, the heart behind Achari Adda. For me, food is not just food - it’s pure feeling. ‘Pet bhara toh aadhi tension gayab’ (Full stomach, half the stress gone). I missed that childhood taste, the real ghar ka achaar from dadi-nani’s hands, so I started making it myself. Every jar I pack is a piece of my home, filled with love and sunshine, not chemicals. Still learning, still hustling, but every order makes my day. Yeh safar hai, with maa ke haath ka jaadu (This is a journey, with mom’s magic touch).
My Work
Pickles & Festive Specials - We make oil-free mango pickle, sun-dried lemon pickle, stuffed green chilli pickle, organic jaggery, and Kanji Vada.
Traditional Taste, No Shortcuts - All recipes come straight from dadi-nani’s kitchen. No preservatives, no fake colors, just pure, homemade flavour.
Small Batches, Big Love - Each jar is packed by hand, in small batches. We believe happiness is homemade and you’ll taste it in every bite.
