My Story: The Journey Behind Mommade
At 75, I turned my family's kitchen secrets into a passion project. Here is how I keep tradition alive, one jar at a time.
This is how my journey with 'Mommade' began at the age of 75. I turned my lifelong passion for cooking and my family's traditional recipes into a small business. It is my way of sharing the pure, authentic taste of a mother's love, made with 100% natural ingredients, just for you.
I was so proud to see my small brand, Mommade Pickles and Treats, featured. It is a reminder that everything I make is based on organic principles and a commitment to natural, wholesome food.
This captures the feeling I want to share with every jar. The taste of 'Maa ke Hath ka Achaar' (pickle from a mother's hands) is now just a call away, bringing the comfort of home to you.
About My Story: A Heart in Every Jar
I do not believe in mass production, so every jar you receive is part of a small, measured batch created right here in my Greater Kailash kitchen. Because I use traditional sun-drying methods and Kachi Ghani mustard oil without any artificial vinegar or preservatives, these pickles retain a distinct crunch and flavour. When you order, I ensure each jar is packed for freshness so you get the same taste I have been feeding my own family for years.
I spent decades working as an interior designer, creating beautiful spaces for clients. While I loved that career, my soul was always in the kitchen. When the world slowed down, I started sharing my comfort food with family and friends. That small act of love grew into Mommade.
My philosophy is simple: 'Anything is Good if it is Home-Made.' My pickles are not just preserved vegetables. They are a process. I source ingredients like Ramkela mangoes and whole garlic cloves, cleaning and preparing them by hand. You will not find Sodium Benzoate or artificial vinegar in my pantry. Instead, I use Kachi Ghani mustard oil and hand-ground spices like fennel, nigella, and fenugreek to ensure natural preservation.
This approach means my pickles have a shelf life of 3 to 6 months, as they are not chemically processed for years of storage. Whether it is the winter mix of Gobi-Gajar-Shalgam or the pungent, spicy Hari Mirchi, each variety is designed to bring that authentic Punjabi flavour to your dining table. If you are looking for healthy, homemade staples made with the same love I would give my own children, you have found the right place.
