Featured Handmade Mithila Pickles

Some memories are tied to taste, like rainy days with a plate of hot poha and that one special mango pickle. Our Mithila Special Mango pickle is made to bring back that exact feeling of home. It's sharp, tangy, and made with the same love you remember from your childhood kitchen.

Real achar begins at home, where mangoes are sliced by hand, not by a machine. We believe in the power of handmade food. The women of our community in Mithila put their care and attention into every single jar, ensuring the taste is always authentic and full of ghar ka swaad.

I am Kalpana Jha, and this is my story. What started in my small kitchen in Darbhanga during the pandemic has now reached homes across the world. My dream was to bring the taste of Mithila to every person who misses it. Today, with the help of over 70 women from our villages, we make more than 1 lakh kilos of achar a year, keeping our traditions alive.

Mango pickle isn't just one flavour. We make four distinct types, just like in our homes in Bihar. From the spicy, whole-chunk Mithila Special and the intensely tangy Sookha Bharua to the sweet Khatt-Meethi chutney and the sharp, grated Kuccha Mango, there is a traditional mango pickle for every palate.

Our Lal Mirch Bharua is for those who crave bold, tangy, and spicy flavours. We hand-stuff seasonal Banarasi red chillies with a special blend of roasted masalas. It's a pickle that adds a fiery punch to any meal, perfect with dal-chawal, roti, or parathas.

We believe if you can pronounce the ingredients, you can trust the food. Our pickles are made with things you'd find in your nani's masala dabba: kairi, sarson tel, and jeera. There are no artificial preservatives or chemicals, only the natural goodness of sun, oil, and spices.

Do you remember helping your dadi dry mangoes on the terrace, laid out on old bedsheets? These simple moments are the inspiration behind our pickles. We want to bring back that feeling of home, tradition, and the simple joys of childhood with every spoonful.

For those who crave authentic, regional flavours, our Kathal (Jackfruit) pickle is a must-try. We use tender jackfruit, steam it to perfection, and mix it with our hand-ground spices. It has a unique, meaty texture and a tangy flavour that makes any meal memorable.

Can't decide which pickle to try? Our Bindass Bihar Bundle is the perfect way to experience the diverse flavours of Mithila. It includes eight of our signature pickles and two varieties of our instant Makhana Kheer mix. It’s a complete taste of Bihar, delivered to your doorstep.
