Achar from Aruna's Andhra kitchen in Mumbai

Anoop is partner at a Mumbai graphic design firm. Anoop's mother is Aruna. Aruna makes pickles for Anoop. Aruna makes pickles for Anoop's friends. Anoop's mother sometimes makes too much pickle and one day Anoop and Aruna put their skills together -- he to the packaging, she to the pickle -- and suddenly Mumbai has access to South Indian condiments from an authentic Andhra Pradesh kitchen, made by a mom we really know exists.

Currently in stock: Allam Pachchadi, a hot and sweet ginger chutney with tamarind and chillies. read more
