RECIPE: How is the pickle prepared? 

Sweet & Tangy pickles require premium quality of fruits as they have no oil added. We source Amla from farmers in UP & Bihar.

When the Amla arrives, it’s first sorted for clean, spotless fruits that qualify for pickling. It’s washed and steamed for a short while, so it becomes easy to remove the seed and grate the fruit in a grinder.

Once the amla has been steamed, and grated to almost paste-like, it’s mixed with sugar to be left overnight.

After 24 hours or so pass by, the fruit and the sugar mix are ready for the final cooking.

We prepare this pickle in small batches, over low-medium flame. First, this mix is taken into the cooking vessel and given some heat while being continuously stirred. Spices are added, and the mix is stirred over low flame till it develops a dark green, brownish color.

We use a small amount of fruit vinegar, which is added once the pickle is near completion over a flame. This vinegar acts as a preservative.

 

 

The khatta-meetha amla pickle is prepared in Jan-March time and doesn’t require sunlight. Additionally, it’s stored and aged in glass martabans for 1-3 months before being shipped.
