Because we sun-dry everything in small, controlled batches rather than mass-producing, you get the natural crunch of the vegetables and the deep, raw intensity of cold-pressed mustard oil in every single jar. I grew up with the scent of sun-drying mangoes and red chillies, and that is exactly what I wanted to preserve. My kitchen in Noida is not a factory. When you open a jar of our Bharwa Lal Mirch or Kathal Achar, you are smelling the same spices my dadi used in our home in Bihar. We skip chemical preservatives and artificial colors entirely. Instead, we rely on the natural preservative power of high-quality, cold-pressed mustard oil and the intense heat of the sun. This means our pickles have a distinct, honest texture—the vegetables stay firm rather than turning mushy. ### Why our process matters * **Hand-Ground Masalas:** I never use store-bought spice powders. We source whole seeds and grind them, which keeps the oils and the aroma intact. * **Small Batches:** Every jar you order is part of a recent, fresh batch. We do not keep years of inventory. * **Less Oil, More Flavour:** We use just enough mustard oil to preserve the veggies, ensuring you get more of the main ingredient and less grease. ### Frequently Asked Questions **Are these very spicy?** We aim for the traditional 'Khat-Mitthi' balance. While the heat is authentic, it is meant to complement your meal, not overwhelm it. **How should I store them?** Since these are preservative-free, always use a clean, dry spoon. Moisture is the enemy. Keep the jar in a cool, dry place and avoid placing it near the stove or in direct sunlight after opening. **What is the shelf life?** If stored correctly with a clean spoon, these stay fresh for months. Most customers tell us they finish the jar long before that. ## About Khat-Mitthi I’m the person behind Khat-Mitthi, keeping my family’s culinary traditions alive from my home in Noida. My daughters and I work together to prepare these batches, ensuring every jar is free from the chemicals you find in store-bought options.
