The Heritage of Kathiawadi

Crafting Authentic Kathiawadi Pickles Since 1980

For over 4 decades, our family kitchen in Kathiawadi, Gujarat, has preserved the authentic art of traditional Gujarati pickle making (Baa nu Athanu). From sun-curing handpicked raw Keri to stone-grinding whole masalas, every jar is crafted with love and 100% purity.

Unlike factory pickles loaded with artificial vinegars and cheap refined oils, our pickles are preserved naturally using pure cold-pressed groundnut oil, sea salt, and turmeric — slow-cured in clay Barnis for rich authentic flavor.

Whether it is traditional Methia Keri, sweet Gol Keri (Jaggery Mango Pickle), spicy Katka Achar, or authentic Gujarati Chhundo, our pickles bring the nostalgic comfort of grandma's kitchen directly to your family dining table.

Each batch matures slowly inside traditional ceramic clay Barni jars, allowing the spices to deep-infuse for weeks before being sealed for your family.

How Baa Crafts Our Authentic Athanu

No shortcuts. No factory floors. Time-honored Kathiawadi techniques passed down through 4 generations.

STEP 01

🥭

Handpicked Kathiawadi Mangoes

We select only premium raw Keri (mangoes) from trusted farmers in Kathiawadi, Gujarat — hand-inspected for firm texture and rich natural tartness.

STEP 02

☀️

Traditional Sun-Drying Ritual

Fresh cut mango pieces are spread on clean muslin cloth under the Gujarat sun for 3–7 days to naturally remove moisture and lock in authentic crisp texture.

STEP 03

🌶️

Hand-Ground Whole Masalas

Our signature Kathiawadi spice blends are freshly stone-ground with rock salt, yellow mustard seeds, fenugreek (methi), and pure cold-pressed groundnut oil.

STEP 04

🫙

Clay Barni Slow Maturation

Every batch is slow-cured in traditional ceramic clay Barnis for weeks, allowing spices to deep-infuse without any artificial vinegars or synthetic additives.

📜 BAA'S SEAL OF PURITY

Our Heritage

A Promise From Baa's Kitchen

Growing up in Kathiawadi, watching Baa work in her summer kitchen with raw mangoes, spices, and cold-pressed oil taught us that true flavor cannot be rushed.

When commercial pickles began dominating stores with artificial vinegars and dull flavors, we knew we had to save Baa's authentic recipes. Today, every jar we send out carries the exact warmth, purity, and taste that Baa created back in 1980.

Thank you for letting our family be a part of your dining table.
