Homemade Pickles Online Authentic Gujarati Achar, Made in Small Batches in Junagadh
Mumlicious sells homemade Gujarati pickles online from Junagadh, Gujarat, and ships them across India. Every jar is made in small batches in groundnut oil, with no vinegar, no added colour and no preservatives, so it tastes like the achar a Gujarati family keeps on the kitchen shelf.
If you have tried to buy homemade pickles online before, you already know the problem: most jars look rustic on the label and taste like a factory. We started from the opposite end. We cook the way the recipe was handed down, and we only list what we are happy to eat at our own dining table. Today that means nine homemade pickles, from the sweet Authentic Gud Keri to the fiery Ginger-Garlic Spicy Pickle.
Not sure where to begin? Read the short guide below on how to choose between sweet, spicy and sour, or just message us on WhatsApp and we will help you pick a jar.
Why Our Homemade Pickles Taste Different What goes into the jar, and what stays out
A good pickle is patient work. Raw mango, salt, whole spices and oil are doing all of the talking, so there is nowhere to hide a shortcut. Here is how we keep the jar honest.
- Pure groundnut oil. Gujarati achar has always leaned on groundnut oil for its clean, nutty base. Our pickles are made and preserved in it.
- No vinegar. The sourness in our sour pickles comes from the mango itself, not from a bottle of vinegar. That is why the flavour feels rounder and less sharp.
- No added colour, no preservatives. The shade of the masala is the shade of the spices. If a jar looks a little darker or lighter from one batch to the next, that is what homemade looks like.
- Small batches. Smaller batches mean we can watch the salt, the spice and the oil closely instead of trusting a machine.
- Clean kitchen, licensed. Everything is prepared in a hygienic set-up, and Mumlicious holds FSSAI licence number 10723999000071.

Our Homemade Pickle Range Nine flavours: sweet, spicy and sour
Every pickle below comes in a 500 gm jar and carries a Pure Jain or Pure Veg label on its product page. Click any name to see the photos, price and ingredients.
Authentic Gud Keri (ગોળ કેરી મિક્સ)
Our customer favourite. Raw mango slow-cooked with jaggery and a gentle spice mix, sweet first, tangy on the finish. This is the jar most first-time buyers go home with.
Gud Keri (ગોળ કેરી)
The classic sweet-and-sour mango and jaggery pickle, labelled Pure Jain. A good pick if you like sweetness with a soft chew.
Mango Sweet Chhunda (મીઠો છૂંદો)
Grated raw mango in a sweet, jammy chhunda. Spread it on a thepla or pair it with plain parathas and you will understand why it sits on every Gujarati breakfast table.
Mango Spicy Chhunda (તીખો છૂંદો)
The same grated mango, but pushed towards heat. Sweet at the start, then a proper chilli kick. Great with khichdi and kadhi.
Methi Keri (મેથી કેરી)
Raw mango with fenugreek seeds for a slightly bitter, deeply savoury, sour pickle. It cuts through rich food beautifully.
Chana Methi Keri (ચણા મેથી કેરી)
Methi keri with chickpeas added, which gives the jar more bite and body. A hearty one for people who like their achar chunky.
Khatti Keri Sour Pickle (ખાટી કેરી)
Plain, tangy raw mango in a spiced oil. If you grew up eating sour mango achar with dal-rice, start here.
Gunda Keri Sour Pickle (ગુંદા કેરી)
Gunda, the Indian cherry that Gujaratis love, paired with raw mango. A distinctive, slightly sticky, tangy pickle you will not find on most supermarket shelves.
Ginger-Garlic Spicy Pickle (આદુ લસણ કેરી)
The hottest jar in the range. Ginger, garlic and mango in a bold masala. It is labelled Pure Veg, so Jain customers should choose from the other pickles.
Sweet, Spicy or Sour? How to Choose Your Pickle A quick comparison
If you only remember one thing: sweet pickles go with plain food, sour pickles go with rich food, and spicy pickles go with anything that needs waking up.

Gujarati Homemade Pickles from Junagadh Where the recipes come from
Our kitchen is in Kailash Wadi, Junagadh, in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. This is mango country. The Gir foothills around Junagadh are known for their mangoes, and for as long as anyone remembers, families here have turned the raw summer harvest into jars that last through the year.
Gujarati pickling has its own personality. It is rarely just hot. It plays sweet against sour, jaggery against salt, fenugreek against chilli. That is why you will find so many keri (raw mango) variations on a Gujarati plate: gor keri, methi keri, chhunda, and the gunda keri that is nearly impossible to find outside the state.
A pickle is also a small part of a bigger meal. Ask any Gujarati what makes a simple lunch feel complete and they will name the same lineup: bhakhri or rotla, a bowl of chaas, and a spoonful of achar. One of our customers said it better than any ad could, that with buttermilk and a good pickle you hardly need a sabzi.
If you live outside Gujarat, our Gujarati homemade pickles are a way to bring that plate to wherever you are. We send jars to customers across India, and you can browse the whole Mumlicious shop for masalas and ghee to go with them.
Ways to Enjoy Homemade Pickle Beyond Dal-Chawal Small ideas for everyday meals
- With thepla and khakhra. The traditional travel snack. Sweet chhunda and thepla are a pairing worth trying once.
- Inside a paratha roll. Smear a little Gud Keri on a hot paratha, add a spoon of curd, roll it up, done.
- With khichdi and kadhi. A bit of Mango Spicy Chhunda lifts a plain bowl of comfort food.
- With bhakhri, rotla and chaas. The rustic combination. Try Chana Methi Keri with it.
- In curd rice. A pinch of Khatti Keri is all it needs.
- In a sandwich. A thin layer of sweet pickle with cheese or butter makes an easy tiffin.
Use the pickle sparingly. A teaspoon is plenty for one meal, and it keeps the jar going for months.
How to Store Homemade Pickles So They Last Simple habits that protect the jar
Homemade pickle has no preservatives, so a few good habits matter more than any label. Our pickles keep for about 6 to 12 months when you look after them like this:
- Always use a dry, clean spoon. Even a few drops of water can spoil a jar.
- Keep the jar in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and the stove.
- Make sure the pickle stays covered by a thin layer of oil. If the oil level drops, press the pickle down gently.
- Close the lid tightly after every use.
- If you see mould, or the smell turns off, do not eat it. Write to us and we will help.

Homemade Pickles Online: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are Mumlicious pickles really homemade?
Yes. Our pickles are prepared in small batches in Junagadh, Gujarat, using traditional Gujarati recipes. We do not buy ready-made pickle from a factory and rebrand it. You can read more about us or message us if you want to know how a particular jar is made.
2. Which homemade pickle should I try first?
Most first-time buyers start with Authentic Gud Keri, a sweet and mildly tangy mango pickle. If you prefer sour, go for Methi Keri or Khatti Keri. If you like heat, try Ginger-Garlic Spicy Pickle.
3. Do your pickles contain preservatives, vinegar or artificial colour?
No. We do not add preservatives, vinegar or artificial colour. The sourness comes from raw mango and the colour from the spices, so shades can vary slightly between batches.
4. Which oil do you use in your pickles?
We use pure groundnut oil, the traditional choice for Gujarati achar. It gives the pickle a clean taste and helps it keep well.
5. Are your pickles Jain-friendly?
Most of them are. Seven of our nine pickles carry a Pure Jain label, including Gud Keri, Mango Sweet Chhunda and Methi Keri. Ginger-Garlic Spicy Pickle and Authentic Gud Keri are labelled Pure Veg, so please check the label on each product page before you order.
6. How long do homemade pickles last?
When stored properly, our pickles last about 6 to 12 months. Keep the jar in a cool, dry place, use a dry spoon every time and keep the pickle covered with oil.
7. How should I store pickles after opening the jar?
Close the lid tightly, keep the jar away from sunlight and moisture, and never dip a wet spoon in. You do not need to refrigerate it, but a cool spot helps in the hot months.
8. Do you deliver homemade pickles across India?
Yes, we ship across India through reliable courier partners. Delivery is free on orders above Rs. 1,999. You can follow your parcel on the order tracking page.
9. Can I place a bulk or gift order?
Yes. For weddings, festivals, corporate gifts or a mixed basket, message us on WhatsApp at +91 99134 13174 or use the contact page and tell us the flavours and quantity you need.
10. What is the difference between gud keri and chhunda?
Gud keri is raw mango cooked with jaggery in pieces, with a sweet and tangy taste. Chhunda is made from grated raw mango and has a softer, jam-like texture. Try Gud Keri and Mango Sweet Chhunda side by side to taste the difference.
11. Which pickles are sweet, which are spicy and which are sour?
Sweet: Authentic Gud Keri, Gud Keri and Mango Sweet Chhunda. Spicy: Mango Spicy Chhunda and Ginger-Garlic Spicy Pickle. Sour: Methi Keri, Chana Methi Keri, Khatti Keri and Gunda Keri.
12. Are homemade pickles healthy?
Pickle is a side condiment, so it is best enjoyed in small portions, as a spoonful with a meal. It does contain salt and oil. If you follow a low-salt diet or have a medical condition, check with your doctor about how much suits you.
13. Where is Mumlicious located?
