THE MYTH AND THE FACT

Myth: Ingredients bought in bulk for achar-making means they can’tbe checked piece by piece.

Fact: Not at JhaJi Store. Every ingredient is sourced in bulk but checked crate by crate. Wrinkled or spotted pieces are removed
before they ever reach production.

WHO ACTUALLY MAKES THIS

RECONSIDER: Three decades of pickling. A business for five years. A team that's grown to fifty.

A lot of women who used to make achar at home stopped, not because they wanted to, but because the time for it stopped being there. That’s exactly the gap this pack is meant to fill, not a replacement for your
kitchen, just the same standards without the weeks it takes.

Made by Kalpana Jha and Uma Jha, in Darbhanga. The recipes were passed down from mother to daughter. Every batch is tasted by expert mom-chefs before it ships.

Hand-mixed, oil-sealed, and sun-cured, the same way it’s been done in this kitchen for years.

WHAT EACH JAR ACTUALLY GOES THROUGH

RECONSIDER: It's easy to print "traditional recipe" on a label. Harder to actually follow the process that earns it.

RECONSIDER: Here's the one thing that makes each jar in this pack genuinely traditional, not just labelled that way:

✓ Mithila Special Mango — cut, sun-dried, then rested a full day insalt and turmeric before the spice mix goes in. Matures 8 to 10 days inthe sun. ✓ Lal Mirch Bharua — each chilli deseeded by hand, then stuffed withroasted spices. The seeds go back into the masala, which is where thetexture and slow-building heat come from ✓ Grated Oal (Barobara) — grated down to remove chunks entirely.Lemon juice is added specifically to cut the itch raw oal is known for ✓ Garlic Ginger Green Chilli Mix — garlic, ginger and chilli kept inclose to equal parts, lightly sun-dried before the mustard oil seals it ✓ Tomato Garlic Chilli Chutney — the one jar in this pack that’scooked, not sun-cured. That’s also the reason its shelf life is shorterthan the rest.

QUESTIONS

Before you order

Do you check every piece, or just the batch overall?

Every crate is checked piece by piece before anything goes into the masala. Spotted or overripe pieces are pulled out first, not sorted after the fact.

Is the mustard oil heated before it’s added?

Yes. It’s prepared at the right temperature before it goes in, never poured in raw.

Does this pack contain garlic?

Yes. Two of the five jars use garlic — Garlic Ginger Green Chilli Mix and Tomato Garlic Chilli Chutney. If you’d rather avoid garlic entirely, the No Garlic Sample Pack is a separate five-jar set.

How long does it last?

18 months for the pickles. 12 months for the Tomato Garlic Chilli Chutney, since it’s cooked rather than sun-cured. 6 months for the Kheer Mixes.

How should I store these?

Cool, dry place — not the fridge. Stir before use and always scoop with a dry spoon.

How long does delivery take?

5 to 7 days, delivered pan-India. Both COD and UPI are available at checkout.

The Same Checks. Every Batch.

Right season, no spots, not overripe, oil heated properly, full sun. The same standards, whether it’s the first jar of the season or the 500th
