Pickle Making Process – Step by Step
- Selecting the Best Ingredients
The first step in making our pickles is to select fresh, high-quality vegetables, fruits, and spices. We source locally grown produce like mangoes, lemons, and gongura leaves to ensure the best flavors and authenticity. - Preparation of Ingredients
After selection, the vegetables or fruits are cleaned thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities. They are then chopped or sliced into appropriate sizes, depending on the pickle variety. - Sun-Drying
Some ingredients, like lemon or gongura, are sun-dried to reduce moisture content and enhance the pickle’s shelf life. This step is key in preserving the natural flavors and ensuring a longer-lasting pickle. - Spicing and Mixing
The next step involves adding a perfect blend of handpicked spices like mustard seeds, fenugreek, cumin, and red chili powder. We also use high-quality sesame oil, which is the base for most of our pickles. This mixture is thoroughly combined to coat the vegetables or fruits evenly. - Fermentation Process
Once the ingredients are mixed, the pickles are left to ferment in a cool, dry place. This process allows the flavors to mature and develop, and it can take anywhere from a few days to a week, depending on the type of pickle. - Packaging and Storing
After fermentation, the pickles are packed in sterilized jars to maintain freshness. The jars are sealed to ensure that the pickles remain free of air, which helps preserve their flavor and quality for months.
Quality We Follow
At Homemade Pindi Vantalu and Pickles, quality is at the core of everything we do. We follow the highest standards in sourcing our ingredients, ensuring they are fresh, organic, and free of harmful chemicals. We use traditional methods of preparation and avoid artificial preservatives, relying on natural ingredients like salt, oil, and vinegar for preservation. Our pickles are handcrafted with attention to detail, ensuring a homemade, authentic taste in every jar.
Storage and Shelf Life
To ensure the pickles remain fresh, they should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, it is best to refrigerate the pickles to maintain their flavor and extend their shelf life. If stored properly, the pickles can last up to 6-12 months without losing their taste or quality.
