Khada Aavle ka Achaar has been a staple in Awadhi and Bhojpuri kitchens for centuries. Traditionally made during the winter harvest, it was a way to preserve the nutrient-rich bounty of amla. The recipe—passed down through generations—was often prepared communally, with families gathering to sun-dry, spice, and bottle the fruit with care.

  • Indian gooseberry is called Amla or Amlika in Hindi, Nelli in Tamil and Malayalam, Usirikaya or Amalakamu in Telugu, Nellikayi or Bettadanelli in Kannada, and Amalaki or Dhatri in Sanskrit.
  • Amla is revered in Ayurveda as a “Rasayana”—a rejuvenator for body and mind.  
  • This pickle uses whole gooseberries, not slices or pulp, preserving their natural texture and tartness.  
  • In many North Indian homes, Khada Aavla Achaar is a winter ritual, often made in large ceramic jars and sun-cured for weeks.
  • Flavour: Tart and citrusy with earthy spice and a pungent mustard oil base.  
  • Taste: A bold medley of sour, spicy, salty, and bitter notes.  
  • Texture: Firm, juicy whole amlas with a grainy, spice-rich coating.
  • Vitamin C Powerhouse: Boosts immunity, skin health, and iron absorption.  
  • Liver Tonic: Amla is hepatoprotective and supports detoxification.  
  • Digestive Aid: Carom seeds, cumin, and asafoetida soothe the gut.  
  • Antioxidant-Rich: Fights oxidative stress and supports cellular health.
  • Pair with dal-chawal, rajma-chawal, or khichdi for a tangy lift.  
  • Serve with parathas, theplas, or poori for a traditional North Indian breakfast.  
  • Add to cheese boards or mezze platters for a citrusy punch.  
  • Use as a chutney substitute with samosas or pakoras.
  • Pickle Aioli: Blend with mayo or yogurt for a zesty sandwich spread.  
  • Amla Quesadilla: Layer with cheese and sautéed onions in a tortilla.  
  • Pickle-Stuffed Paratha: Use as a filling with mashed potatoes or paneer.  
  • Achaar Fried Rice: Toss with leftover rice, curry leaves, and peanuts.  
  • Amla Pickle Butter: Mix with softened butter and smear on toast or grilled corn.
  1. What makes Trsna’s Khada Aavle ka Achaar special compared to other brands?

Trsna’s pickle features 60% whole, fresh Indian gooseberries sourced from farms in Uttar Pradesh. These are marinated in mustard oil and seasoned with sun-dried, roasted, and stone-ground spices including carom, coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds. Crafted in small seasonal batches using heirloom recipes, every jar honours traditional techniques with zero substitutions—even the oil remains true to the original. The result is a bold, nourishing pickle that combines sourness, spice, and crunch in perfect balance.

  1. Is the pickle spicy?

Yes, but the spice is beautifully nuanced. Red chillies add warmth, while carom and mustard seeds bring gentle pungency that lifts the gooseberry’s natural tartness without overpowering it.

  1. How should I store the pickle after opening?

Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate after every use. Always use a clean, dry spoon to preserve flavour, texture, and shelf life.

  1. How long does the pickle stay fresh?

Unopened, it stays fresh for up to 12 months. Once opened and refrigerated properly, it maintains its tangy punch and crisp texture for 6–8 months.

  1. Are there any additives or preservatives used?

Only minimal food-grade additives are used—acidity regulator (INS 260) and preservative (INS 211)—to ensure safety and consistent quality. No artificial colours, flavours, or fillers.

  1. Is the pickle vegan and gluten-free?

Absolutely! Khada Aavle ka Achaar is 100% vegan and naturally gluten-free. It contains no dairy, grains, or animal-derived ingredients.

  1. Can I use it in cooking or only as a condiment?

Both. Use it as a side with rice or rotis, mix it into dal or khichdi, or layer it between chapatis. It also adds a zingy kick to salads or sprout bowls.

  1. Where is the pickle made?

Every jar is handcrafted at source in Uttar Pradesh by skilled artisans using regionally harvested gooseberries and spices. The entire process reflects Trsna’s commitment to preserving regional culinary heritage.

  1. Do you ship internationally?

Yes—Trsna ships globally to selected countries. Shipping rates and delivery times are calculated at checkout based on your location.

  1. What’s the best way to enjoy it the traditional way?

For a timeless taste, mix a spoonful of Khada Aavle ka Achaar into steaming rice with a splash of ghee. It also pairs beautifully with curd rice, aloo sabzi, or warm parathas.
