About Traditional Indian Preserves & Specialties

Ghar Ka Swad, Beyond the Pickle Jar

At Achari Adda, I try to bring that real 'gharwala swad' (taste of home) to your plate, not just through pickles but with other classic treats too. It's the stuff our grandmothers whipped up for festivals or when the weather turned, each bite full of nostalgia and health.

Sweet & Tangy Specialties

• Homemade Indian murabba: My Aamle Ka Murabba comes two ways - the old-school, syrupy sweet kind and a jaggery version for those who want something a bit healthier. Both are loaded with nutrients because aamla (gooseberry) is just good for you.

• Festive kanji vada: Only made for Holi, this tangy drink has soft lentil vadas chilling in fermented carrot-mustard water. It's not your everyday snack, and I only prep it on pre-order since it’s a seasonal thing. Limited stock, so Holi pe yaad rakhna! (remember it on Holi!)

• Organic jaggery treats: You’ll find simple pure jaggery here, and also a nutty version stuffed with almonds, walnuts, raisins, and cashews. It’s warm, tasty, and actually helps you during winter.

Why My Stuff Feels Different

Everything follows grandma’s traditional recipes - no synthetic junk, no preservatives. I’m running a small, women-led kitchen, and I won’t rush things. Some specialties, like murabba, take time - up to a week to get that real, slow-cooked flavour. Sabr ka phal meetha hota hai (patience brings sweet rewards), and I think you’ll taste the difference.
