A Taste of Tradition: The Unique Flavors in The Gourmet's Pickle Collection

In India, pickles aren't just condiments—they’re cultural heirlooms. Each region boasts its own take, each family swears by a secret recipe, and every bite carries generations of taste, technique, and tradition.

At The Gourmet by Renukka, we honor these culinary legacies by crafting preservative-free, sun-fermented, cold-pressed oil-based pickles that reflect the soul of Indian kitchens. Let’s take a flavorful journey through the star pickles in our collection and their traditional significance.

🌶️ 1. Hot Green Chilli Pickle: A Fiery Staple

Tasting Notes: Spicy, sharp, and deeply flavorfulRegionally Inspired From: North India, especially Rajasthan & Punjab

What Makes It Special:Green chilli pickle is a bold companion for parathas, khichdi, or dal-chawal. In North Indian households, this is often made with mustard seeds, methi (fenugreek), turmeric, and lemon juice—and left to mature in the sun. We follow the same method, minus the preservatives.
