Everything happens in our home kitchen in Ashok Vihar, where the process is dictated by the sun and the season, not by mass-production timelines. When you open a jar, you aren't getting something processed; you are getting vegetables hand-cut by my mother, Rashmi, and spices that were roasted and ground in small, controlled batches. This is why our pickles might look slightly different from one season to the next—nature doesn't produce identical crops, and we don't use chemicals to force uniformity. ### 25 Years of Tradition What you see in our jars isn't just a recipe; it's a 25-year-old family legacy. My mother, Rashmi Anand, didn't start this in a lab. She spent years perfecting her spice ratios in our home, initially just for family and friends. When we decided to make this a brand, the one non-negotiable rule was that we would never scale up by sacrificing our methods. ### The 'No Factory' Guarantee In an industry dominated by industrial powders and artificial preservatives, we take the long route. We source special varieties like Ramkela mangoes, sun-dry them until they reach the perfect texture, and hand-mix the masalas with 100% pure mustard oil. We avoid vinegar completely, relying on traditional salt-curing and oil-sealing techniques to ensure our shelf life is natural. ### A Mother-Son Team When I joined my mother to build Wekins, my focus was on packaging the memories she had been bottling for years. We aren't just selling achaar; we are trying to bring back the feeling of opening a traditional 'mitti ki barni' (earthen jar) that used to sit in our grandmother's kitchen. Whether it is our spicy Lal Bharwa Mirch or our khatta-meetha nimbu, every batch is made with the same intention: to create that specific taste of home that connects you to your roots. ## About Wekins Homemade I'm Rashmi, and along with my son, I started Wekins to share the same pickles I’ve been making for my family for 25 years. We aren't a factory; we’re just a mother-son team in Delhi keeping the old-school kitchen traditions alive, one jar at a time.
