When the winter harvest of red carrots, cauliflower, and fresh green amla hits the markets, that is when I start my kitchen prep. Because I work in small batches, every jar captures the crunch and flavour of the season exactly as it should be, without relying on artificial preservatives to stretch shelf life. ### Why I wait for winter The seasonality of ingredients dictates everything I make. For instance, my Turmeric Pickle (Amba Haldi) relies entirely on the arrival of fresh raw turmeric, which is only available during the colder months. Peeling and chopping this rhizome is tedious and time-consuming, but I stick to it because the resulting flavour and the anti-inflammatory benefits are superior to any store-bought alternative. ### Traditional methods, no shortcuts When you order my Gajar Gobhi Shalgam ka Achaar, you are getting the classic combination of fresh red carrots, cauliflower, and turnips. Depending on your preference, I prepare this in two distinct ways: one with jaggery for a balanced khatta-meetha (sweet and sour) profile, and a purely sour version for those who prefer the traditional bite. ### Beyond pickles This cluster also includes my homemade Chyawanprash. I make this only when fresh green amla is abundant. It is a slow process involving cow ghee, jaggery, saffron, and a blend of 14 Ayurvedic spices. Unlike commercial versions, this has no thickeners or artificial colours. Whether you are looking for a sharp, spicy Amla pickle or a health-boosting preserve, everything here is made to order in my home kitchen in Mumbai, ensuring that you receive the freshest batch possible. ## About Raina Agarwal I’m Raina, and my kitchen strictly follows the seasons. If the produce isn't fresh, I simply don't make it. I take the traditional, time-consuming route because that is the only way to get the real, home-cooked flavour into every jar.
