About Specialty Preparations & Ingredients

If you are travelling with homemade theplas or rotis, our industrial vacuum sealing removes 99% of the air to keep them fresh for 15 to 20 days without needing a fridge. For seasonal ingredients like mango pulp or fresh herbs, we use freeze-drying to lock in the nutrients and flavor, turning them into a shelf-stable powder that lasts for months. Whether it is a small batch for a trip or bulk processing for a business, we treat every ingredient with care.

This is my Spicy Amla Pickle, a winter specialty packed with flavour. I use fresh, big-sized amla (Indian gooseberries) which are carefully cut and mixed with a blend of traditional spices and mustard oil. The result is a tangy, medium-spicy pickle that is full of Vitamin C and tastes incredible with any meal.8
Here you can see my classic Spicy Khatti Kairi Pickle being prepared. I use Ladua kairi, a type of raw mango known for its sour taste and fleshy pulp, and mix it with my family's secret masala blend. This picture shows the pickle just after mixing, before it's left to mature and let the flavours deepen.
My Stuffed Green Chilli Pickle, or Hari Mirch ka Bharwa Achaar, is a North Indian favourite. I use a special medium-spicy chilli called Achaari Mirchi, slit it, and stuff it with a flavourful masala. This top-down view shows the jars just after packing, with the chillies soaking in mustard oil.
This is a jar of my authentic Rajasthani Kair Pickle. Kair are desert berries that I source directly from Rajasthan during the summer. They are soaked in buttermilk to soften and develop a sour taste before being pickled with grated raw mango and spices. It's a rare flavour that brings the taste of Rajasthan to your plate.
