Traditional Homemade Pickles
I prepare these pickles using seasonal produce and family recipes passed down by my mother. Made in small, sun-cured batches without any artificial preservatives or colours.

About this collection
Since I never use vinegar or sodium benzoate, my pickles rely on high-quality oil and patient sun-curing for preservation. This means you need to keep them moisture-free, so always use a clean, dry spoon to make sure they last on your shelf for months.
I firmly believe that some things cannot be rushed. My mango, amla, and chilli pickles are not made in a factory, but in small, seasonal batches right in my kitchen. The process starts with selecting the best local produce, followed by sun-drying to remove every trace of moisture, and finally, mixing the ingredients by hand.
I use premium groundnut or gingelly oil as the natural preservative. You won't find vinegar or artificial chemicals in my jars. My signature spice blends are crafted from whole Byadgi chillies and hand-ground mustard, ensuring that rich, deep red colour and authentic heat that commercial brands cannot replicate.
What to expect in your jar:
- Classic Mango Pickle: Made with raw mango, oil-preserved for that traditional tangy kick.
- Tangy Amla (Nellikai) Pickle: Packed with nutrients and robust flavours.
- Pickled Chillies: A perfect, spicy accompaniment for everything from curd rice to nacho platters.
A quick tip for longevity
Because these are free from synthetic stabilizers, keep your jars away from wet spoons. A little care ensures your pickle stays fresh, fragrant, and flavourful for 6 to 12 months.
