In a globalized world whizzing along in digital time, food preservation may feel like an antique concept—but in Indian cooking, preservation is as much a science as an art, based on wisdom, wellness, and sustainability. At The Gourmet by Renukka, we proudly maintain these age-old Traditional Indian food preservation techniques—not only to lengthen shelf life, but to deepen flavors, gut health, and seasonal nourishment.
Let’s see how ancient Indian methods of preservation are given new life in our contemporary kitchens—and how our thoughtfully curated product line preserves this artisanal process in every jar.
🌿 Traditional Indian Food Preservation Today
Households in India have been preserving nature's wealth for centuries using nothing but sunlight, salt, oil, spices, and time. These methods were not merely convenient—they were deliberate acts of wellness, meant to nourish immunity, digestion, and seasonal harmony.
Nowadays, with the popularity of clean-label eating and natural well-being, these traditional techniques are as important as ever. At The Gourmet by Renukka, we keep them in the limelight through:
✴️ Handmade Pickles
✴️ Sun-dried Amla Candy
✴️ Small-batch Chutneys
✴️ Ghee-roasted Laddoos
🫙 Main Indian Preservation Methods We Utilize
1. 🌞 Sun Fermentation – Our Pickles' Secret
Used for centuries, sun fermentation takes advantage of India's climate to allow food to naturally age. We use it to make our probiotic-packed pickles such as:
Hot Green Chilli Pickle
Garlic Achaar
Khatta Meetha Nimbu Pickle
Mixed Vegetable Pickle
These pickles ferment slowly in the sun for days or weeks with cold-pressed mustard oil, Himalayan salt, and spices—no vinegar or additives.
2. 🍯 Jaggery Preservation – As Seen in Amla Murabba
Rather than chemical preservatives or refined sugar, we stay true to Ayurvedic heritage by preserving amla with jaggery in our:
Amla MurabbaA natural immunity booster, this golden syrup permeates pieces of amla slowly, preserving nutrients and increasing their digestibility and shelf life.
3. 🧂 Salt & Spice Curing – In Every Jar of Chutney
Spices are not only for taste—they're also natural preservatives. In our chutneys, we add ingredients like hing, ajwain, mustard seeds, turmeric, garlic, and red chilli as natural preservatives for vegetables.
Our bestsellers:
Ginger-Garlic Chutney
Tangy Red Chilly Garlic Chutney
Homemade Style Schezwan Chutney
These are full-bodied in flavor, shelf-safe, and authentic to Indian culinary tradition.
4. 🔥 Dry Roasting in Ghee – For Long-Lasting Laddoos
