Homemade Pickles Crafted with Traditional Bihari Recipes
My pickles start in the grove, not a factory. From sun-dried mangoes to hand-ground spices, here is the journey of how I bring the authentic taste of home to your table.
The journey of my Kathal pickle begins here, with fresh jackfruit growing on the tree. I only use farm-fresh produce to ensure the best flavour and quality.

This illustration says it all: "Great taste isn't made in a factory, it's made in homes, with hearts, and hands." This is the philosophy behind every jar of Khat Mitthi.
Why choose my pickles? Because they are sun-dried, made with premium ingredients and oil, and are hygienically handmade, unlike many mass-produced options.
Here’s a comparison. Unlike generic pickles that use more oil and vinegar, my pickles are made in small batches with 80% less oil, are sun-dried, and use all-natural ingredients.
My promise to you: homemade, 100% natural, no added preservatives, and less oil for more taste. These are the principles I follow for every pickle I make.
A few simple tips to take care of your homemade pickle. Always use a dry spoon and keep the lid tightly locked to maintain its freshness and long shelf life.
About From Our Farm to Your Family
Making pickles isn't just about the recipe; it's about the patience. When I source raw mangoes or jackfruit, I don't just pick anything. I watch them ripen, sun-dry them for 5 to 7 days until they reach the perfect texture, and ensure every batch uses cold-pressed mustard oil. You will notice the difference immediately—it is not that oily, sharp store-bought taste. It is softer, more aromatic, and actually tastes like the food you grew up eating.
The 'No-Factory' Philosophy
I believe great taste is made in homes, with hearts and hands. Unlike mass-produced pickles that rely on vinegar and artificial preservatives for shelf life, my process is entirely natural. My pickles are made in small batches at my home in Noida, ensuring that quality is never sacrificed for volume.
The Bihari Heritage
My recipes are a direct legacy from my Dadi and Nani in Bihar. These aren't just flavors; they are traditions. Whether it is the bold, tangy Kathal (Jackfruit) or the fiery Bharwa Lal Mirch, each jar uses hand-ground spices like fennel and fenugreek to replicate that authentic desi swaad. I use only pure Kachi Ghani mustard oil, keeping the oil ratio low so you get more flavor in every bite.
How to Keep Your Achaar Fresh
Because I don't use artificial preservatives, a little care goes a long way. Always use a clean, dry spoon when serving. Keep the lid locked tightly after use and store your jar in a cool, dark place. The natural salt and oil do the heavy lifting to keep your pickle fresh for months.
Why Choose Homemade?
- No Chemicals: Zero artificial colors, vinegar, or preservatives.
- Sun-Dried: We use the traditional method for natural shelf stability.
- Small Batches: Every jar is made fresh, not pulled off a dusty warehouse shelf.
