I am Gurdeep Kaur, and I started this journey at 60 to share my family's authentic Punjabi pickle recipes with all of you.

Someone caught me in action explaining my Lemon Crush. I always say, "Ek baar try karke dekho, guarantee hai aapko pasand aayega!" (Try it once, I guarantee you'll like it).

Packing up an order for a happy customer at the market. It brings me so much joy to share my food with all of you.

A happy moment at my stall. I love chatting with everyone who stops by, sharing stories and, of course, samples of my pickles.

Here I am, all smiles, while serving samples at a market. Letting people taste the difference is the best way to show the quality of my homemade pickles.

Another happy moment serving customers. The cooler box you see keeps my pickles fresh, especially the oil-free ones that need to be refrigerated.

My husband, Ekbal Singh, helping out at the stall. We believe in giving the best customer experience, from tasting samples to home delivery.

We are a team, and you'll often find my husband helping customers and managing the stall. It's a true family effort.

It was lovely to be featured by a digital agency. It's always nice when people appreciate the story and hard work behind Pikkle Shikkle.

Here we are at another event. We love setting up our stall and meeting new people who are passionate about good, honest food.

Posing at our stall with my son. This business is a family affair, and their support means the world to me.

About Meet Your Punjabi Aunty

I always say, ek baar try karke dekho (try it once). You can visit my kitchen in Nagavarapalya to taste the pickles before you buy. I believe you should know exactly what you are eating, which is why I make everything myself with no artificial preservatives or colours. If you stop by, we can chat about which spice level suits you best.

New look, same soul. We were so thrilled to launch our new packaging. It's a refreshed identity, but the heart of Homepick remains the same: traditional recipes, authentic flavours, and the love of generations.
We undertook a huge packaging glow-up with over 50 new labels. This visual overhaul helped unify our brand identity and made our products stand out on the shelf, all while keeping the same taste you love.

My special Aam Chana pickle, a true Punjabi classic. It has the perfect tangy kick from raw mangoes and a wonderful texture from the chickpeas, all mixed in pure mustard oil with my secret blend of spices.7
This is my Bharwa Hari Mirch achaar. I carefully stuff each fresh green chili with a flavourful masala mix that is spicy but not overpowering. It's a real treat for those who love a bit of heat.
The famous winter special, Gajar Gobhi Shalgam achaar. It has a lovely khatta-meetha taste from the fresh carrots, cauliflower, and turnips mixed with jaggery and spices. It's a seasonal favorite that sells out fast.
My sweet and tangy Aam ki Chutney, made from grated raw mangoes. I cook it slowly with spices until it has the perfect jam-like consistency. It is made without any vinegar or artificial preservatives.

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.8
My Lehsun ka Achaar is a true delight for anyone who loves garlic. I use fresh, whole cloves of garlic and a blend of aromatic spices to create this bold and flavourful pickle. It is perfect with hot parathas or simple dal chawal.
For those who love a bit of spice, I make this Stuffed Hari Mirchi Achaar. Each green chilli is carefully slit and filled with a tangy masala mix before being pickled. It has a wonderful crunch and a fiery kick that really livens up a meal.
When winter arrives, I love making my Gobi, Gaajar, Shalgam Achaar. This pickle is a crunchy, tangy mix of fresh cauliflower, carrots, and turnips, all pickled in a traditional Punjabi style. It’s a seasonal favourite that brings warmth to chilly days.
