About Artisanal Indian Pickles & Preserves
Taste Bhi, Sehat Bhi
Food for me is straight from the heart - I make my pickles and preserves just like my dadi (grandma) did, using only pure ingredients and zero shortcuts. What you get isn’t just a jar, it’s a slice of tradition with every spoonful.
What Makes My Pickles Stand Out
- Handmade at home, not in some factory. I stick to my family's old recipes, mixing up Punjabi, Banarasi, and Surati flavours.
- No chemicals, no weird colours. Just cold-pressed oil, spices, and real veggies or fruits.
- Some batches are made with Ayurvedic pickle preparations. It’s slow, but worth it.
Pickles & Preserves for Every Mood
- Life too boring? Add my Green Chilli Pickle or Banarasi Red Chilli Pickle for a teekha (spicy) kick. Both vegan and gluten-free.
- Want something tangy? Try my Punjabi Mango Pickle or Chat Pata Lemon Pickle - these are the ultimate tiffin heroes.
- Craving sweet-sour? Khatta Mitha Lemon Pickle and my traditional mango preserve (Chunda) hit the spot.
- Feeling health-conscious? Amla Murabba (Gooseberry Preserve) packs your Vitamin C. Fenugreek Magic Pickle helps with digestion.
Roti Ka Best Friend
One bite and your roti will say, “Oh my achaar!” If you like natural Indian condiments and want something real, you’ll probably love these. Not every batch tastes exactly the same, because I keep it small and homemade - so, full honesty, sometimes flavours change a bit. But that’s ghar ka taste (homemade taste) for you.
