About Homemade Indian Pickles
Ghar Ka Achaar, Straight from My Kitchen
Making achaar is my happy place - it’s not just about spices, it’s about bringing a piece of my childhood to your table. I stick to old-school, traditional Punjabi pickle recipes, the kind my dadi (grandmother) handed down. When the masalas roast and the kitchen smells just right, I know I’ve done it properly.
Why My Pickles Hit Different
- Each batch is handmade by me – no shortcuts, just loads of care.
- I use only real, fresh ingredients. No artificial stuff, no vinegar, nothing your nani (grandma) wouldn’t use.
- Less oil, more flavour. You won’t get that greasy layer – just the real achaar taste.
- All the recipes are what we eat at home, not restaurant-style or mass-market.
Pickle Varieties – Something for Everyone
- Mango lovers: classic Punjabi mango, aam-chana, ambi hari mirchi, and aam ki chutney for that sweet-sour punch.
- For the spice fans: bharwa mirch, gud ki mirch, and mirchi lehsun. Teekha, but not just for show.
- Sweet & sour: nimbu-galgal, gajar gobhi shalgam (the winter hero), kathal ka achaar, and amla gud ki chutney.
What to Expect
Everything comes packed tight, no leaky mess, in glass or vacuum packs. Your pickle will taste just like it does at my table – pure, homely, and proper North Indian.
