🌶️ What’s Inside & How it Tastes
Garlic, Ginger & Green Chilli Mix Pickle
Taste: Medium spicy • Salty • Tangy • Chatpata
What this pickle is:
A traditional mixed pickle made with (almost) equal parts garlic, ginger, and green chilli, lightly sun-dried and matured in mustard oil.
Garlic gives depth, ginger adds warmth, and green chilli brings a clean, steady heat. Lemon juice balances the sharpness.
This is an everyday pickle — bold, aromatic, and addictive in small quantities.
Best with: Dal–chawal, roti, paratha, khichdi
Lal Mirch Bharua (Stuffed Red Chilli Pickle)
Taste: Spicy • Tangy • Deeply savoury
What this pickle is:
A classic stuffed red chilli pickle from Bihar and eastern UP, made using thick-skinned Banarasi red chillies.
Each chilli is carefully deseeded, then hand-stuffed with roasted spices and mustard oil. The chilli seeds are mixed back into the masala — adding texture and slow-building heat.
Sun-matured for days, this pickle is bold but balanced.
A little goes a long way.
Best with: Dal–chawal, poori–bhujia, dahi-choora
Jackfruit Pickle
Taste: Earthy • Gently spicy • Deeply satisfying
What this pickle is:
A traditional chunky pickle from Mithilanchal, Bihar, made using raw jackfruit that is steamed — not fried — before pickling.
The jackfruit is cut into pieces and lightly steamed until just tender. This step is essential: it softens the fibre without breaking the structure, so each piece absorbs spice while holding its shape. The steamed pieces are then marinated with salt and turmeric, left to release moisture, and mixed with hand-roasted whole spices and mustard oil.
Sun-dried for 10 days or more, this pickle is hearty and filling in a way most pickles are not. In many homes it replaces a vegetable on the plate entirely.
Best with: Dal–chawal, roti–sabzi, poori, khichdi
Tomato Garlic Chilli Mix Chutney
Taste: Tangy • Savoury • Gently spicy
What this pickle is:
A cooked chutney-style pickle, made by slow-cooking tomatoes with garlic, green chilli, mustard oil, and spices.
Unlike sun-dried achars, this relies on controlled cooking to reduce moisture and thicken naturally. The result is a spoonable, balanced chutney that sits between a pickle and a sauce.
Comforting, familiar, and incredibly versatile
Best with: Dal–chawal, roti, paratha, snacks
Grated Oal (Suran/Jimikand) Pickle – Oal Barobara
Taste: Tangy • Spicy • Gingery
What this pickle is:
A traditional Mithila pickle made using equal quantities of grated oal (suran), ginger, and green chilli — hence the local name Oal Barobara.
Lemon juice is added to reduce itchiness, and the mixture is sun-matured slowly so flavours settle without any raw bite.
There are no chunks — only finely grated ingredients that blend beautifully.
Best with: Roti, dal–chawal, poori, dahi-choora
