I don't use chemical accelerators to speed up the process. Instead, I let the jars sit in the sun for months to mature naturally. When you open a jar, you are tasting a recipe that has been allowed to develop its complex, deep flavour through time, not a quick factory fix. ### From My Kitchen to Yours I believe that simplicity is the sign of perfection. When I started Niwala at 56, my goal was to bring back that *maa ka swaad* (mother's taste) that seems to be disappearing in modern, preservative-filled markets. My process is very basic, very traditional, and completely transparent. ### The Sun-Cooking Process Most commercial pickles are made using vinegar or artificial preservatives to ensure a long shelf life. I prefer the traditional way. My Aam ka Achaar, for example, is sun-cooked for months. This natural heat helps the raw mango absorb the turmeric, salt, and mustard oil blend, resulting in a texture that is firm yet perfectly marinated. It is labour-intensive, but it is the only way to get that authentic taste. ### Quality Matters I am very particular about what enters my kitchen. Whether it is the fresh, locally sourced vegetables for my Mix Veg Achaar or the raw spices for my *Pilli Sarson* (mustard) chutney, everything is checked by me. * **Hygiene:** I personally sterilize every single glass jar before filling it. This prevents spoilage naturally. * **No Nasties:** You will never find synthetic colours, artificial preservatives, or chemical thickeners in my jars. Just real ingredients. * **Hand-Packed:** Each jar is packed by hand, which allows me to ensure the masala-to-oil ratio is generous, just the way we like it at home. ### Made for You Because I prepare everything in small, fresh batches, you are not getting stock that has been sitting on a warehouse shelf. You are getting a jar that was recently bottled in my Sector 78 kitchen. If you ever visit me for a tasting party, you will see exactly how I work. It is not just about selling a product, it is about sharing a piece of my family's food history with yours. ## About Niwala by Mallika Namaste, I am Mallika. At 56, I turned my home kitchen into the heart of Niwala, where I recreate the family recipes I grew up with.
