About Homemade Indian Pickles (Achaar)
My Heart in a Jar
I started 'Mommade' at 75, turning years of family recipes into pickles that remind you of home. What I make is all about Maa ke hath ka swaad (the taste of a mother's hands) and real, honest food.
What Makes My Pickles Special
- Always homemade, just like my maa taught me
- 100% natural, no preservatives or weird stuff
- Less oil, more flavour - I keep it healthy
- Small batches only, so every jar tastes fresh and authentic
- Naturally fermented - good for the tummy, probiotic Indian pickles style
Pickle Choices
- Aam ka Achaar: I do the classic mango in Punjabi styles, shredded, and more.
- Nimbu Achaar: Homemade lemon pickle, tangy or sweet and sour, depending on what you love.
- Lehsun & Hari Mirchi: Garlic and green chilli pickles for those who like some heat.
- Seasonal Specials: Crunchy gobi, gaajar, shalgam achaar (winter veg mix) and some healthy blends like amla-garlic-chilli.
- Unique Flavours: Karela kairi (bitter gourd with mango), karonda (Bengal currant) - stuff you don’t find everywhere.
Why I Make It This Way
I want my pickles to be more than just a side - they're good for digestion, loaded with natural goodness like amla and turmeric. So, jee bhar ke khao (eat to your heart’s content), but yeah, if you're not a fan of bitter or spice, some flavours may not be for you. I keep it real, always.

My Story
People look at me funny when I say I kicked off MomMade at 72! Interior design was my life, but my soul hung out in the kitchen. Lockdown slowed things down, I started sending comfort food to family. My husband, a true foodie, always cheered me on. Matarani guides me, so I keep it pure - old-school recipes, organic stuff, no preservatives. What you get is maa ka pyaar (mother’s love) in every jar.
My Work
Homemade Pickles, Sweets, Savouries & Drinks - I make homemade achaar, organic panjiri, jaggery ladoos, mathis, namakpara, and more. Jee bhar ke khao!
Maa Ke Hath Ka Swaad - Every batch is made with love, care, and hygiene. It’s home, packed in a jar.
Organic & Healthy Ingredients - Only natural, organic stuff. Jaggery instead of sugar, less oil. Health matters, boss!
Fresh & Small Batch Goodies - No mass production. Only small, fresh batches so you get real, preservative-free taste.
