Trsna’s pickle features 55% fresh Banarasi green chillies handpicked in season from farms across Uttar Pradesh. These chillies are marinated in mustard oil, lime juice, and a harmonious blend of rock salt and sun-dried, roasted, and stone-ground spices including mustard, fenugreek, turmeric, and red chillies. Crafted in small batches at source using traditional heirloom recipes, Trsna’s commitment to authentic flavour shines through—no ingredient substitutions, especially when it comes to the oil.

  1. Is the pickle spicy?

Yes—expect a clean, vibrant heat. The chillies bring bold spice that’s brightened by lime juice and mellowed by mustard oil. It’s lively, but not overwhelming, making it a crowd-pleaser for spice enthusiasts.

  1. How should I store the pickle after opening?

Always seal the jar tightly and store it in the refrigerator. Use a clean, dry spoon with every serving to prevent moisture contamination and preserve the texture and flavour.
