The jar’s note
Lemons quartered and layered with jaggery, black salt, cumin and ajwain — no oil at all — and left four months until the rinds soften and the juices become a sweet-sour syrup.
How it is made
Quartered and layered with jaggery, black salt, cumin and ajwain in wide-mouthed glass jars — no oil at all — and left to mature for four months, until the rinds soften and the juices meld into a sweet-sour syrup.

flavor notes
Taste Profile
A masterful dance between sweet and sour that changes with every bite. The initial tang of preserved lemon gives way to the caramel warmth of jaggery, while the cumin and ajwain add a smoky, earthy undertone. It's simultaneously refreshing and deeply satisfying — like sunshine in a jar.
