RECIPE: How we make the Bihari Jimikand Pickle
Our unique Suran ka Achar recipe is inspired from the traditional Bihari recipe handed to us over generations.
- To start the pickling process, Oal is washed and peeled and then kept out in the sun to dry.
- Once dry, it’s grated. The same quantity of green chilies, and ginger as the Oal is minced into small pieces.
- The three main ingredients are mixed together. Lemon Juice, Amchoor, Salt, and Turmeric are added before the mixture is left in the sun to dry for a day or two.
- Spices are ground, mixed, and roasted before being added to the pickle.
- The pickle is left in the sun to dry for a 5-7 day period and then stored in Martabaan / glass jars.
- This pickle is also called, Oal Barabar, meaning that the pickle has equal quantities of Oal, Green Chilli, and Ginger bringing out a unique flavor, taste, and texture.

Excellent product,it’s taste is too yummy and spicy love to eat with Dal rice.Just concern that the oil is less May be in transit oil drained from bottle.So it’s not the same in picture the colour changed.But taste is really nice.Please look into oil matter.
I am a pickle enthusiast and I have eaten all kinds of spicy pickles but this was one of the best pickles of my life. Oal pickle just melted in my mouth with such high-quality spices.
Thank you, Deepak ji for such a phenomenal appreciation.

We ordered Suran ka Achar.We were very excited for the pickle delivery. Packing was good. We opened jar and taste it. There was mix of Chilli and Ginger 99% and hardly any Suran. At least we could not taste it. So in Suran achar Suran was absent. Otherwise taste was normal. Rates are too high around 350 for 250gms achar.Big disappointment.
Namaste Anshu Ji
We're sorry you feel this way about the taste.
This recipe is commonly known as Oal Barobar in Mithila. In the recipe, grated pieces of suran are mixed with an equal amount of ginger and green chilli (hence the name barobar).
I'll also let the product team know to check and see what they can do about it.

i ordered two pickles , one is grated oal and another one is panchranga. both i tasted i didn't like the taste because it is sour taste and spicy it has no masala.
ginger will give u some bad taste.
Its awesome taste and spicy 😋. Its quality is not comparable from any pickle in market. Please mention that quality and taste in future.
Please provide in bigger size.
I recently purchased oal pickle and it taste awesome. After tasting it reminds me of my mother and grandmother. Typical authentic maithil taste.. now it's a must for my lunch 😊 😊. Packing was also quite good ..
Staying away from home makes people deprive of home made food. These pickels reminds me of my naani. They have wonderful taste in beautiful packing. I will definitely try other varieties in the next order.
