Deep Dive: Crafted the Traditional Way

Our dry mango pickle begins with carefully selected unripe mangoes from local Siliguri farms. After a sun-drying process that intensifies their natural tartness, the mangoes are tossed in high-heat-roasted mustard oil infused with red chilies and a symphony of whole spices. No vinegar, no artificial colors—just pure, unadulterated flavor that pays homage to classic aam thokku and bedekar recipes from Andhra, Rajasthan, and Punjab.

Flavor Profile & Pairings

The first forkful delivers a bold, lip-smacking khatta punch, quickly followed by the warm embrace of toasted spices. Use it to brighten buttery parathas, jazz up dal chawal, or add an unexpected twist to avocado toast and grilled cheeses. Crumble it over salads, stir into yogurt for raitas, or serve alongside your favorite snacks—this achar is as adventurous as you are.
