The Art of Making Preservative-Free Pickles at Home

A legacy of love, taste, and tradition from the hills of Uttarakhand

There’s something magical about opening a jar of achar and being instantly hit with memories — of summer vacations, nani’s kitchen, and that unmistakable tangy-spicy aroma that only homemade achar can bring. At Pahadi Potli, our journey started with that very memory. And today, we’re here to celebrate the age-old tradition of making preservative free pickles — the way our grandmothers did.

🌿 What Are Preservative-Free Pickles?

Unlike most commercial pickles loaded with synthetic additives to extend shelf life, preservative free pickles rely on natural ingredients and traditional methods. No chemicals, no shortcuts — just pure handmade pickles crafted with patience, love, and the power of sun-curing.

Key ingredients in our recipes include:

• Cold-pressed mustard oil

• Rock salt and flavoured salts

• Locally grown spices from Uttarakhand

• Fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits

Every jar from our home is a small batch, made the old-fashioned way — slow, steady, and sincere.

🏔️ Why Uttarakhand Pickles Are So Special

The secret lies in our hills. The crisp mountain air, pure spring water, and fertile soil give every ingredient a deeper, richer flavour. Whether it’s our stuffed red chilli pickle, mango pickle, or the earthy tang of lemon and garlic, each recipe carries the taste of Uttarakhand.

In fact, people across India — from Delhi to Gurgaon — now search for "uttarakhand best pickle" just to get a taste of something that reminds them of home.

👩‍🍳 How We Keep It Real — From Our Kitchen to Yours

At Pahadi Potli, we don’t mass-produce. Every jar is handcrafted by our team of pahadi women, using recipes passed down over generations. We sun-dry the ingredients, stir them lovingly in iron kadhais, and let them ferment naturally.

This ensures:

• No need for preservatives

• Long shelf life (naturally preserved with oil and salt)

• Authentic, tangy flavour that improves with time

We believe in celebrating regional Indian food, not changing it to fit trends.
