The pickles and spice blends I make are honestly just like what my amma (mom) used to make - nothing fancy, just straightforward, full of flavour, and no shortcuts. I still use the same tricks I saw as a kid - slow curing, hand grinding, and waiting for the pickles to mature properly. ### Straight From My Kitchen - Everything’s made by me in my own kitchen, not in some huge factory. - I use whole spices, roast and grind them myself. No masala powders from packets, no artificial stuff. - My homemade mango pickle is a yearly ritual, and the traditional sambar powder is what I use at home too. - You won’t find preservatives or food colours in my jars. What you see is what you get. ### What’s in the Lineup - Mango pickle, amla (nellikai) pickle, and pickled chillies - all made with fresh, local produce. - Custom biryani masala and authentic puliogare mix - straight-up, ready to use, and packed with flavour. - Sometimes, depending on the season, you’ll find something new in the mix. ### Honest Food, No Rush I’m not here to sell mass-produced stuff. If you want pickles and spice blends that taste like home, made in small batches, you’ll probably like what I do. If you want super spicy or super sweet, mine might not fit the bill - I keep it close to how it’s meant to be. ## Highlights Browse through Ammana Mane Oota's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/ammana_maneoota/artisanal-pickles-spice-blends/featured) - ![This is my classic homemade mango pickle, slowly maturing in a traditional glass jar.
