Our Craft
The Story Behind This Jar
Every jar has a lineage — from the farm where the ingredient grew to the hands that prepared it. Here's how this one came to be.
Family Heritage
Jackfruit pickle was the crown jewel of my grandmother's summer preservation ritual. In our village, every household had at least one jackfruit tree, and the competition for the best kathal ka achaar was fierce. My grandmother's version — with its secret addition of raw mango powder — always won. This is her recipe, unchanged and unchallenged.
Ingredient Sourcing
We source young, tender jackfruit from the lush groves of Kerala and coastal Karnataka, where the tropical climate produces the most flavorful fruit. The jackfruit must be at the perfect stage — firm enough to hold its shape during pickling, yet tender enough to absorb the spices. Our garlic and amchoor (mango powder) are sourced from organic farms in Uttar Pradesh.
Artisan Process
The jackfruit is carefully cleaned of its sticky latex, then cut into thick, meaty pieces. Each piece is salted and left to drain overnight. The next day, the pieces are tossed with our robust spice blend — heavy on garlic and amchoor — then submerged in cold-pressed mustard oil. Five weeks of sun-aging transforms the jackfruit into something extraordinary: tender yet toothsome, with a depth of flavor that rivals any meat-based pickle.
Flavor Notes
Taste Profile
Rich, meaty, and deeply savory with an almost pulled-pork-like satisfaction. The jackfruit absorbs the mustard oil and spices beautifully, creating layers of umami, heat, and tanginess. The amchoor adds a fruity sourness that cuts through the richness, while the garlic provides an aromatic backbone that ties everything together.
