Chutneys Pickles

Buy Indian Pickles at Asia Foodstore: What’s Inside These Savoury Jars?

Pickles, also known as “achaar”, are preserved vegetables or fruits that are cured or fermented with spices, oil and salt. Pickling in oil combined with strong spices creates a spicy, salty and tangy flavour that pairs well with rice, lentils, curry, bread or meat dishes. In India as well as in Thailand or Sri Lanka, pickles accompany almost every meal, with each region having its own recipes ranging from fruity-sweet to extremely spicy. Popular varieties include mango pickle, lemon pickle, garlic pickle and mixed vegetable pickle.

How Are Pickles Made?

For pickles, vegetables or fruits such as mango, lime, chilli or garlic are chopped and sprinkled with salt to draw out excess moisture. Aromatic spices like turmeric, chilli, cumin and mustard seeds are then added. Everything is mixed with oil (often mustard or sesame oil) and left to ferment or marinate for several days in a warm place. This produces savoury, long-lasting pickles with their characteristic intense aroma.

With us, you can buy ready-to-eat pickles in jars. This saves you the time-consuming preparation and lets you enjoy the intense flavour instantly.

Buy Indian Chutneys at Asia Foodstore: Fruity-Savory Classics Full of Aroma

Chutneys are savoury sauces or pastes made from fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. They can be sweet, sour or spicy and originate from India, where they are served with nearly every meal, similar to mustard or ketchup in Europe.

Typical varieties include mango chutney, mint chutney, tamarind chutney and coconut chutney. These Indian sauces are usually eaten with curry, rice, bread or snacks such as samosas, adding freshness and flavour to the dishes. They create the perfect balance between sweet and savoury and are indispensable in Indian cuisine.

How Are Chutneys Made?

To make chutneys, fruits, vegetables or herbs are finely chopped and cooked or blended with spices, sugar, vinegar or lemon juice. Depending on the recipe, the result is a sweet, sour or spicy sauce. Fruity varieties like mango or pineapple chutney are boiled down to make them long-lasting. Varieties such as mint or coconut chutney are prepared fresh and served immediately. This results in the perfect balance of sweetness, acidity and spice.
