Bold, aromatic, and unapologetic our garlic pickle is a celebration of the achaar tradition. We’ve taken plump garlic cloves comprising over 50% of the jar and tempered them in a vibrant blend of aromatic spices and vegetable oil. This isn't just garlic in vinegar it’s a deeply layered, savoury preserve with a complex balance of heat, earthiness, and a touch of sweetness. The craft of the temper the secret to this pickle lies in the spice blend. We use nigella, mustard, fenugreek, and fennel seeds to create a textured, fragrant base. The addition of asafoetida provides that essential savoury funk, while jaggery a traditional unrefined sugar adds a mellow, caramel-like depth that rounds out the sharp hit of cider vinegar and chilli powder. Founder’s note this is a pickle for the true garlic lover. We wanted to move away from the standard vinegar-soaked cloves and create something inspired by traditional indian pickling. By using jaggery and tempering the spices in oil, the garlic loses its raw 'burn' and takes on a rich, savoury sweetness. It’s punchy, aromatic, and arguably the most versatile jar in our kitchen.
