Reliving the Joy of Seasonal Achar – One Spoon at a Time

Every Indian household has a memory attached to seasonal achar. That big ceramic jar placed under the sun, Nani’s hands smeared with mustard oil and spices, and the irresistible aroma of pickling masala wafting through the courtyard - it wasn’t just about preserving food; it was about preserving emotion, tradition, and love.

At Nani Ka Pitara, we have captured that essence in every jar of our seasonal pickles. We believe that each season brings with it a new produce followed by new moods and flavours; Our pickles are handcrafted to reflect just that.

From spring’s tangy kairi (raw mango) to monsoon’s spicy lasoda, winter’s warming gobhi-gajar-shalgam mix, and summer’s zesty karonda, we’ve got every season bottled up and ready for your plate.

What Makes Seasonal Achar So Special?

Seasonal achar isn’t just a condiment. It’s a culinary celebration of India’s agricultural rhythm. Unlike commercial, mass-produced pickles that taste the same all year, seasonal pickles are made in sync with nature. This makes each batch unique; deeply tied to time, temperature, and terroir.

Let’s break it down:

Freshness First: Ingredients used in seasonal achar are sourced at their natural peak. Raw mangoes in summer, amlas in winter, karonda in monsoon - they are sun-dried, slow-pickled, and packed when they’re bursting with flavour.

No Preservatives, Just Patience: Traditionally made pickles don’t rely on chemicals to last long. They rely on age-old techniques - mustard oil, salt, spices, and sunlight. At Nani Ka Pitara, every jar is fermented and preserved using methods passed down through generations.

Flavours That Evolve With Time: A good seasonal pickle matures with age. The mango softens, the masalas deepen, and the oil becomes rich and fragrant. What you eat today will taste even better tomorrow.

The Seasonal Stars of Nani Ka Pitara

We offer a lovingly curated collection of seasonal pickles - each tied to a time, a memory, and a story. Here’s a look at our rotating favourites:

1. Aam Ka Achar (Mango Pickle) – Summer’s Tangy Treasure

The king of Indian pickles, our aam ka achar is made using Ramkela mangoes, sun-dried and soaked in cold-pressed mustard oil with a secret spice mix. It’s not just a seasonal achar - it’s nostalgia in a jar.

2. Gobi-Gajar-Shalgam Achar – Winter’s Warming Trio

A hearty North Indian classic, this seasonal pickle is made when carrots, cauliflower, and turnips are at their juiciest. Blended with jaggery, spices, and oil, it hits the perfect note of sweet, sour, and spicy.

3. Karonda Achar – Monsoon’s Zesty Bite

Tart and slightly bitter, karonda is a monsoon berry that’s hard to find but impossible to forget. Our karonda achar is bold, vibrant, and made only during the rainy season when this fruit is naturally available.

4. Lasoda Achar – A Forgotten Gem

Also known as glueberry or Indian cherry, lasoda is a traditional seasonal pickle with chewy texture and tangy personality. It’s loved for its unique bite and goes perfectly with dal-chawal or stuffed parathas.

5. Amla Achar – Immunity-Packed Winter Delight

Packed with Vitamin C and nostalgia, our amla achar is made from fresh gooseberries that are steamed, spiced, and slow-pickled. A daily dose of health; served with a side of flavour.

Why Choose Nani Ka Pitara’s Seasonal Pickles?

We don’t make pickles. We tell stories in jars. Each of our seasonal achars is:

1. Handcrafted in Small Batches

Mass production can’t capture the love that goes into real pickling. We sun-dry every ingredient, slow-mix every masala, and ferment each jar the way your Nani did; patiently and passionately.

2. Made with Real Ingredients

Cold-pressed oils. Organic spices. Seasonal produce. No chemicals. No shortcuts. Just traditional methods and honest ingredients.

3. Fermented the Traditional Way

We don’t rush the pickling process. Our pickles sit under the sun for days, sometimes weeks, letting nature do the work. This not only enhances flavour but also adds probiotic benefits.

4. Eco-Friendly Packaging

Our seasonal pickles come in reusable glass jars or steel dabbas, packed beautifully and safely -good for the earth and your kitchen shelves.

Health Benefits of Seasonal Achar

While seasonal achar is known for its irresistible taste, it’s also incredibly good for you when made the right way. Here’s why:

Boosts Digestion: Many of our pickles include spices like asafoetida (hing), fenugreek (methi), and mustard seeds - all known for aiding digestion.

Rich in Antioxidants: Raw seasonal ingredients like mango, amla, and karonda are rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants.

Supports Immunity: Our traditional pickling process preserves not just taste but nutrition. The natural fermentation adds gut-friendly probiotics to your diet.

Improves Appetite: The bold, tangy flavours of seasonal achar activate your taste buds and improve appetite, especially when paired with simple meals.

When Should You Buy Seasonal Achar?

Each seasonal pickle is available for a limited time - based on the natural availability of its core ingredient. That’s why we always recommend grabbing your favourites while they last. Once a batch is sold out, it’s gone until next year’s harvest.
