Girija Paati's pickles are not factory made or mass produced. They are hand-made with pure gingelly (sesame) or coconut oil, and produced in limited quantities, only during the harvesting season. With 1st quality ingredients sourced from specific regions of South India. Our recipes are time tested (over a century) for health and taste, and don't use sub-standard ingredients (like table salt or palm/cooking oils) to increase output or reduce cost. Our pickles are cured carefully, with zero preservatives, colouring or additives.
