Pickles, or "achaar," are a popular side dish in an Indian household. They carry the tradition, and regional tastes to every meal. Imagine a dining table without that tangy, spicy jar. It feels incomplete, right? For years, families have passed down secret recipes, with each taste revealing stories of tradition and love. Various regions of India make their own variants of Indian pickles. Sweet Karam Coffee honours this history by making pickles that bring South India's rich tastes directly to your plate.

The Unique Taste of Traditional Indian Pickles

What makes Indian pickles unforgettable? It’s the bold dance of flavours - raw mangoes, tart lemons, earthy spices, and oils that sing of tradition.

Regional Spices, Oils, and Time-Honored Techniques

Crafting pickles is an art perfected over centuries. Think golden sesame oil from the South, pungent mustard oil from the North, and spices like turmeric and fenugreek that do double duty - adding depth while keeping pickles fresh. No artificial preservatives here; just sun, salt, and patience. The result? Jars that stay flavorful for months, just like Grandma’s.

Signature Achaar Varieties Across India

From Tamil Nadu’s tangy maavaddu (tender mango pickle) to Andhra’s fiery avakkai, every state boasts its star. Tamil kitchens swear by pulikachal - a tamarind paste that turns rice into a zesty delight. Meanwhile, Andhra’s garlic-laden mango pickle wakes up even the sleepiest taste buds. Each variety is a love letter to its roots, containing the unique South Indian masalas of each state.
