\n\n

Ingredients used in the Garlic Red Chilli Chutney

Include Red Chili, Garlic, Ginger, Mustard Oil, Salt, Coriander Powder, Cumin, Carom Seeds, Fenugreek, Nigella Seeds, Fennel Seeds, Asafoetida, Red Chili Powder, Black Salt, Kashmiri Lal Mirch, Yellow Mustard, Black Mustard, Lemon Juice.

\n

RECIPE: How is the chutney prepared?

\n

The chutney preparation’s first step is sourcing the right quality of Lal Mirch, which arrives at our kitchen factory from Banaras. We check every lal mirch to check if they meet the quality standards to make into chutney. Chilis with dark spots or over-aged are discarded.

\n\n

After sorting, the chili is washed, dried in the sun, the tail removed, and chopped into small pieces. The chutney has 50% chopped red chilis, 35% peeled & chopped garlic, and 15% chopped ginger.

Alongside the red chili preparation, garlic & ginger are also peeled, cleaned, and chopped.

We prepare this chutney in small batches of 30 kgs. The 3 main ingredients are mixed together in proportion, to prepare the base of the chutney before the spices and mustard oil is mixed. Salt and Turmeric are added to the mixture of chopped lal mirch, garlic, and ginger to be left overnight for marination.

We source our mustard oil from Rajasthan and get it tested for safety and purity at accredited laboratories.

Our spices come from small farmers across Darbhanga, and Samastipur masala markets. They buy whole spices, and thereafter sort, clean, roast, and ground them in-house before pickling.

Once the spices are ready, and the pickle base with Lal Mirch, Lahsun, and Adrak has been left overnight mixed with salt + turmeric - it’s time to prepare the pickle.

The spices and mustard oil are added to the mix. And stir till everything blends together and is ready to be put out in the sun.



The pickle is prepared in Jan-Feb time and requires only 7-10 days of sunlight. Additionally, it’s stored and aged in glass martabans for 1-3 months before being shipped.



Lal Mirch Lahsun Chutney is a rare Bihari delicacy that Uma learned from her grandmother and has prepared for many decades. It’s made by combining two popular winter ingredients. In her home, this chutney is most enjoyed with poori, paratha, dal-chawal. Recently, it’s become the favorite go-to-red-chutney for momos😊

\n

\n

\nRECIPE: How is the pickle prepared? \n

\n

Sweet & Tangy pickles require premium quality of fruits as they have no oil added. We source Amla from farmers in UP & Bihar.

When the Amla arrives, it’s first sorted for clean, spotless fruits that qualify for pickling. It’s washed and steamed for a short while, so it becomes easy to remove the seed and grate the fruit in a grinder.

\n

\n

Once the amla has been steamed, and grated to almost paste-like, it’s mixed with sugar to be left overnight.

After 24 hours or so pass by, the fruit and the sugar mix are ready for the final cooking.

We prepare this pickle in small batches, over low-medium flame. First, this mix is taken into the cooking vessel and given some heat while being continuously stirred. Spices are added, and the mix is stirred over low flame till it develops a dark green, brownish color.

We use a small amount of fruit vinegar, which is added once the pickle is near completion over a flame. This vinegar acts as a preservative.

\n

 

\n

 

\n

The khatta-meetha amla pickle is prepared in Jan-March time and doesn’t require sunlight. Additionally, it’s stored and aged in glass martabans for 1-3 months before being shipped.

\n

Amla Khatta-Meetha Pickle is the most loved pickle among sweet-tooth customers of all ages. In Darbhanga, our teammates enjoy this pickle in their breakfast, or with evening snacks like a samosa.😊

JhaJi's Karonda, Ginger, Green Chilli Mix pickle is a traditional Bihar pickle, that's crunchy to bite and tangy to taste. Made with a rich blend of masala and mustard oil, this pickle is a delight to eat with Pooris & Parathas..

\n

Ingredients used in Karonda Chilli Pickle

\n

include Karonda, Ginger, Green Chilli, Lemon Juice, Mustard Oil, Turmeric, Red Chilli Powder, Coriander Powder, Cumin, Nigella Seeds, Carrom Seeds, Fenugreek, Fennel, Yellow Mustard, Black Salt, Salt, and Amchoor.

\n

RECIPE: How we make the Karonda Mirch ka Achar

\n

\n

We source the karonda from the border areas of Bihar & Bengal. Till a couple of decades ago, you could find karonda trees in people’s backyards. And everyone loved eating the fruit raw, and pickling it.

\n

But, these days most of the Karonda available comes from outside of Darbhanga. Karonda fruit is red, white & greenish in colour.  

\n

The pickle is green in colour as the spices, specially the turmeric, gives the pickle its colour.

\n

To begin the pickling, the 3 main ingredients are cleaned, washed, and left out in the sun for a couple of hours.

Karonda is cut into two pieces. Ginger is (almost) grated to make think inch long fingers. And the green chili is cut into 2-4 pieces.

Turmeric & Salt is added to the mixing vessel with the 3 main ingredients in equal quantities.

Overnight, the mixture gets well marinated, and is ready for the next step. Spices & Mustard Oil is added to complete the pickling process.

As the final step, the pickle is now kept in the sun for 7-10 days. The masalas mix blend together and the fruits soften during this time under the sun.

\n

\n

In Mithila, this is a favourite pickle as it’s crunchy, tangy, and with comparatively less masala. Many customers prefer this pickle among all the unique ones we prepare, to get a feel for the traditional east India flavours.

Made from thick, fresh, tender, bright red chillies, JhaJi's Lal Mirch Bharua Achar is a must have pickle prepared in traditional Bihari style using a rich blend of spices, and very limited mustard oil.

\n

The seeds are first removed to empty the red chili. A masala mix is prepared with a variety of spices, mustard oil, and red chili seeds. Finally, the masala is stuffed into the red chili to prepare the pickle.

\n

\nIngredients used in the Red Chilli Pickle

\n

RECIPE: How we make the Lal Mirch ka Bharwa Achar

\n

\n

The process of preparation begins with the red chilies arriving to our kitchen factory. Our team of expert pickle makers first sort the chilies for proper quality, size, and colour, and cut off their tails.

\n

It is then washed thoroughly and left out in the sun to dry for a couple of hours.

Thereafter begins the work of removing the seeds from the chilies to make space for the masala mix to be stuffed. 

\n

\n

The seeds, that are taken out, are mixed into the spices along with mustard oil. These seeds add a unique flavour and texture to the spice mix.

Eventually, the red chilies are stuffed with the masala mix one-at-a-time. It’s a very delicate process and the red chilies must retain their shape and form once the filling is complete. 

The red chilies are then arranged over a butter paper in a सूप (traditional Bihari kitchen utility made with bamboo) for sun-drying. It takes about 7-10 days of sun for the pickle to be ready.

\n

\n

Lal Mirch Bharua Pickle is the most loved pickle across Bihar, and among the top 3 bestsellers at JhaJi Store. It is relished locally with Dal-Chawal, Choora-Dahi, Poori-Bhujiya!

\n

You’re likely to spot this pickle in tiffins, or lunch boxes locals carry to work 😊

A traditional Bihari preparation, this pickle is made with white bitter gourd grown locally.. Bite into the crunchy finger like pieces, wrapped with a tangy, chatpata masala – blended together in raw mango juice and mustard oil.

\n

RECIPE: How is the pickle prepared?

\n

The pickling starts with selecting the right type of Karela.

Here locally a white variety of bitter gourd is grown, specially for pickling. It has fewer seeds as well. We make sure the fruit used is freshly plucked.

\n

\n

Once the bitter gourd arrives to our kitchen factory, it washed and cleaned, and left in the sun to dry for a couple of hours.

It is then cut into 2 inches long finger like shapes. In case after cutting the karela, all the seeds are red in colour, that karela is rejected as it has become too mature for pickling. 

\n

We remove all the seeds, and again the cut pieces are spread out in the sun so that the moisture within gets removed.

\n

\n

The marination of this pickle is different and is done in raw mango’s juice, together with salt and turmeric. This marinated cut karela is left untouched for 12 hours.

After this time has passed, the ground and roasted masalas are added to the pickle along with mustard oil.

\n

\n

It is a relatively easier pickle to sun-dry and takes about 10 days to get ready in good sun-light.

We enjoy this pickle most with aaloo parantha and dahi 😊

\n

RECIPE: How is the pickle prepared?

\n

\n

The process of preparation begins with the raw amras arriving to our kitchen factory. 

We separate out the most mature amras because their pulp and seeds are too tight. Therefore, it’s important to buy the fruit at the right stage in its life. 

Because amra is rare, tangy, wild fruit that itself is loved across these parts – the pickling of this pickle is rather simple. You’ll often see people sitting on their terraces and enjoying this fruit with black salt on rainy afternoons in this part of the country.

Once the amra’s arrive, they are cleaned with a couple of rounds of water. And left outside to dry for a couple of hours. 

\n

The fruit, which is similar is size to a strawberry, is cut into two parts. They are put together in a mixing vessel and the marinating spices – salt & turmeric – are added. This mix is left untouched for 12 hours so that the extra moisture within the amra comes out.

\n

\n

Finally, we add the masalas to this marinated amras and the pickle is ready for sun-drying. 

\n

This fruit is a delicate fruit, and is prepared easily under the sun within 7-10 days of good sunlight. 

\n

Even in Mithila, it’s very difficult to get this fruit. As it mostly grows in the wild. And hence the pickle is cherished a slightly more 😉

Garma Garam Poori, Aalo Dum, Dahi aur Amra ka Achar make a perfect Sunday morning breakfast.

Mango varieties used for production of this pickle includes Malda, Bijju, Kalkatiya & Sukul. They are all tangy, juicy, pulpy varieties grown in Darbhanga district. Spices are mostly sourced locally from farmers, and bazar samitis in Samastipur. We buy whole spices and clean, roast, ground them in our kitchen-factory. Mustard Oil is brought in from Rajasthan. We test it regularly for purity, and quality.

\n

RECIPE: How we make the Aam ka Sukha Achar

\n

The Process of Preparation is inspired by the traditional techniques Kalpana observed her mother-in-law Tarini use to prepare this dry mango pickle.
Typically, the mangoes for this pickle arrive in the evening around 7 PM, after being plucked from the trees on the same day. Immediately they are sorted in size categories. The small mangoes are not used for this pickle. Selected mangoes should be big enough to cut out 4-6 large pieces (2 inches * 1 inch).

The next morning, work begins by cutting the mangoes. As soon as a mango is cut, it’s dipped into water to take away the heat inside the mango. After 5-10 minutes pass, the cut mangoes are washed again 2-3 times before being spread under the sun for a couple of hours to dry out the moisture.

\n\n

After a few hours, turmeric and salt is added to the cut mango pieces. And this mixture is left untouched for 12-48 hours. The moisture within the mangoes drains out in form of tangy juice which is separated. At the same time, a masala mix is prepared by adding together about a dozen different spices, and mustard oil. Everything is mixed well, till the masala blends together. The proportion of spices used is based on Kalpana’s experience. Tangy water that drained out of the mangoes is also mixed into the masala.

\n

After the time has passed, the cut mangoes are taken out and the masala is wrapped around the inner side one piece at a time. It’s a tedious process, and takes time. Finally, this cut piece of mango with masala wrapped around it is dipped into oil, and spread out on top of a bamboo soop as seen below. This pickle is now ready for sun-drying for 6-10 days. Once through the sun-drying phase, it’s stored in glass martabaans before being send to our customers.

\n\n

This pickle is slightly saltier than the other ones on our store, as salt and turmeric act as the chief preservatives and not oil. When you go to villages in Darbhanga, Madhubani, or any nearby areas, you’re likely to be welcomed with Chora Dahi & this sookha bharua pickle. More so, during or just after monsoon.

RECIPE: How we make this Teekha Hari Mirch ka Achar

\n

Our spicy green chilli pickle recipe is inspired by the traditional Indian recipe handed to us over generations.

\n

\n
• The pickling process starts with washing the Green Chillies. Once washed, the tails are chopped off, and dried in the sun for a day - to get rid of the moisture. Salt, Turmeric, and Lemon Juice are added to the dry chilies, and the mixture is put out in the sun for a day or two. 
  
  
\n
• Once the green chilli has become a little soft, it’s the right time to add spices. Spices are used in lesser quantities in this particular pickle, as the heat of the chilies defines the flavor of the pickle.
  
  
\n
• The spices before being added are ground, mixed and roasted in appropriate quantities. Once the spices are added, the mixture is kept out in the sun, daily for 6-8 hours, for 5-7 days.
  
  
\n
• The pickle is ready and stored in Martabaan / glass jars

RECIPE: How we make Imli ki Khatti Meethi Chutney

\n

Our Imli Chutney recipe is inspired from the traditional Indian recipe handed over to us over generations.

\n
• To start the process, Sookhi Imli (Dry Tamarind Sticks) is first washed and cleaned
  
  
\n
• The Imli is then dipped in water and immersed for up to 10 hours until the Imli turns soft.
  
  \n
\n
• Then the Imli is mashed and its guthli, chhal are removed through a Chhalni (strainer).
  
  \n
\n
• The amount of pulp extracted this way is then mixed with an equal amount of sugar by weight.
  
  \n
\n
• This mixture is then boiled in a Kadhai until the pulp thickens.
  
  \n
\n
• Once the pulp is thick enough, Masale like carom seeds, nigella, Methi, Saunf and Namak are added and stirred continuously
  
  \n
\n
• If the pulp feels too thick, we dilute it with homemade sugarcane vinegar. 
  
  \n
\n
• Once it achieves the right consistency, it's taken off from boiling and left to cool down. 
  
  \n
\n
• The pulp finally turns into a sauce-like mixture and tastes Khatta-Meetha

RECIPE: How we make the Amla ka Achar

\n

Our Amla Pickle recipe is inspired from the traditional Indian recipe handed over to us over generations.

\n

\n
• To start the pickling process, Amlas are first washed and then steamed for a few minutes - so that they turn soft.
  
  
\n
• Then Amlas are cut into pieces, the seeds are removed, and dried in the sun so that the moisture is removed.
  
  \n
\n
• Once the amla has dried a little, salt and turmeric are added - and the mixture is further left in the sun for a day or two to completely dry.  
  
  
\n
• The spice mix is prepared with yellow mustard and cumin seeds forming the base. Amchoor is added as the main ingredient to bring sourness to the pickle.
  
  
\n
• After the spices are mixed, the mixture is left out in the sun for 3-5 days before being stored in glass jars / Martabaans.

Relive Old Memories with this traditional Bihari preparation, also known by the name of Oal Barobar locally. Made with three key ingredients, Oal, Ginger and Green Chili – this Oal mixed pickle is a tangy, spicy & gingery delight for your tastebuds. 

\n

\n

\nIngredients used in JhaJi Store’s Oal Ginger Green Chili Mixed Pickle

\n

Oal (Jimikand/ Suran), Crushed Green Chilli, Ginger, Lemon Juice, Amchoor, Mustard Oil, Mustard, Coriander Powder, Cumin, Carom Seed, Fenugreek, Fennel Seeds, Black Cumin Seeds. Nigella Seeds. Turmeric, Asafoetida, Black Salt, and Salt.

\n

On Ingredients:

\n

The first key step is selecting the right variety of ingredients for the pickle, specially the three vegetables, Oal, Ginger and Green Chilies. 

\n

We use Desi Oal varieties grown locally in Darbhanga. Oal, or Suran, or Jimikand, or elephant yam – grows below the soil. Even after harvesting Oal can be stored in your aagan, or bagicha for weeks.

\n

\n

It’s important to select the ginger that have thin skin. Otherwise, it takes too long for the ginger to soften up. And it overpowers the other flavours in the pickle. While choosing the green chili we make sure it’s a variety with less seeds inside. Mostly, we make this pickle using bullet/longia mirchi varieties as they are hot, with thin skin, and have few if any seeds. 

\n

Juice from the local jamiri lemons also is an essential ingredient in this pickle. Jamiri Lemons have a very distinct aroma, and has always been preferred over other varieties for adding tanginess in the pickle.

\n

\n

The spices are sourced locally from the Samastipur Mandi about 40 Kms from our kitchen-factory. Sorting, Cleaning, Roasting, and Grounding of spices is carried out in-house. Roasting & Grounding is done for most spices to enhance their flavours, aroma, and the texture of the pickle once ready.

\n

The Pickling Process:

\n

We follow the local processes of pickling passed onto Kalpana and Uma through their mothers, and mothers-in-law. All begins by cleaning the Oal, Ginger, and Green Chili in water, for 2-3 rounds. The tail of the green chili is removed.

Once thoroughly washed, they are left in the sun for a couple of hours. And then chopped into smaller pieces for grating. Traditionally, this pickle has been prepared by mixing all these 3 ingredients in equal quantities. That’s why the name Oal Barabar is also used to address this pickle here in Darbhanga and nearby. Note that there are no pieces of any of these 3 ingredients as they are all grated, कद्दूकश करे हुए तीनो ही। 

We make 30 Kg batches at a time, by mixing equal quantities of कद्दूकश करे हुए oal, ginger, and green chili.

Once the three ingredients are added in the pickling vessel, salt, turmeric and lemon juice is added to marinate the mixture. It’s left untouched for 12-24 hours, as the moisture in the ingredients is drained and settles around it in the mixing vessel. Note that this moisture is extremely important for the final flavour and is not separated out.

After 24 hours, oil and spices are added as per the batch size in appropriate proportions.



And the mixture is ready for sun-drying to run into the final pickle. Oal pickle takes about 10 days of sun-light for the spices to mix well. Once ready, it’s stored in glass martabans to be used when customers order.



We make this pickle mostly in the period October-December. This is the time of year when all the main ingredients are harvested and are available in abundance. 

\n

\nHow we relish this pickle in Mithila: \n

\n

Oal is a vegetable that’s relished a sabzi through many months, specially in winters. Naturally, the pickle is a also a household favourite, and is prepared by most families in Mithila.  

\n

We love oal ka achar with a variety of dishes, including dal chawal, paratha, poori or dahi choora. However, the most loved away to enjoy Oal pickle among our team-members is with simple roti. Even a plain roti tastes out of this world, with a little touch of our Oal, Ginger, and Green Chili pickle!
