Every summer, as raw mangoes ripened on the trees of Rajasthan's villages, grandmothers would gather in courtyards — hands seasoned with decades of wisdom — to prepare Aam Khatta. A pickle that is at once sharp, tangy, and warmly spiced. Not just a condiment, but a memory.

At Dadi's & Nani's, we have bottled this ritual exactly as it was passed down — no additives, no shortcuts, no compromises. Sun-dried green mangoes, hand-ground spices, and patience. That is the only recipe we know.

"The kitchen holds the soul of Rajasthan — every jar carries its warmth."

CRAFT & TRADITION

The Art of Making 
Aam Khatta
Handpicked Mangoes

Only the firmest, tartest raw mangoes make it into our achar. Each one is handpicked at the peak of its sourness — before the sun can soften it or the season can pass.

Sun-Drying Ritual

Cut pieces are washed and sundried for few hours. It is then mixed with salt and turmeric and laid out under the sun to dry naturally. The salt draws all the moisture from the raw mangoes.

Spice Grinding

Whole spices are freshly grounded, the old way. No pre-mixed masala packets. Just real spices, cracked and blended by hand for a flavour that hits differently.

Matki Curing

The spiced mango is packed into traditional clay matkis and left to cure slowly. The matki breathes, the oil seeps deep, and over days the pickle transforms — bold, layered, and built to last.

We believe in full transparency. Every ingredient in our Aam Khatta is sourced traditionally and used in its most natural form.
