🌞 The Winter Ritual That Inspired This Pickle
When winter arrived in Mithila, so did the joy of pickling. Grandmothers would gather amla, mustard oil, and whole spices, crafting achaar that soaked in sunlight and wisdom.
Terraces would fill with martabaans, each carrying the scent of garlic, methi, and tangy amla. More than recipes, these were rituals of love — passed down from maa to beti, from one winter to the next.
This pickle is our way of bottling that memory — so your home smells like winter in Bihar, too.
🔥 How It’s Made – The Traditional Way
-
Fresh amla, garlic, and green chilies are sliced and sun-dried just enough to lose excess moisture.
-
Spices like methi, ajwain, saunf, and jeera are dry-roasted and coarsely ground.
-
Everything is mixed with turmeric, red chili powders, and black salt.
-
Hot mustard oil is poured over the mixture to activate the aroma and lock in flavour.
-
The pickle is matured in the sun for 10–15 days in sterilized martabaans — just like it’s done in Bihari homes.
