🌳 The Meaty Vegetarian Marvel: Discover Baya India’s Handcrafted Kathal Pickle ✨
Share
If you are looking for a pickle that eats like a meal, look no further. Our Kathal (Jackfruit) Pickle is a legendary favorite in Indian households, cherished for its unique, "meaty" texture and its ability to soak up spices like no other fruit can.
At Baya India, we celebrate the humble Jackfruit by treating it with the respect of a royal ingredient. We don't use frozen or processed chunks; we use fresh, tender baby jackfruit to ensure every bite is succulent, savory, and soul-satisfying. ✨
Why Our Kathal Pickle is a Cut Above 🏆
Kathal pickle is notoriously difficult to get right, but we’ve mastered the art through patience and tradition:
The Perfect Texture: We source young, tender "Baby Kathal." This ensures the pieces are meaty and firm, never woody or stringy.
Sun-Cured Savory Goodness: Instead of boiling the jackfruit (which makes it mushy), we sun-dry our hand-cut chunks. This preserves the "bite" and allows the mustard oil to penetrate deep into the fibers.
A Spice Marriage: Jackfruit has a neutral profile, making it the perfect canvas for our bold, hand-ground spice blend. It’s a savory explosion in every mouthful!
✨ The Baya India Standards: Pure & Honest ☀️
We believe your food should be as clean as it is tasty. That’s why we stick to the old ways.
The Baya India Difference:
No Rock Salt: We use pure salt to cure our jackfruit, ensuring the perfect savory balance without the mineral aftertaste of rock salt.
Pure Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil: We use only premium mustard oil, which acts as a natural preservative and gives the pickle its signature sharp, warming aroma.
No Artificial Softeners: Many brands use chemicals to soften the jackfruit quickly. We use only the natural heat of the sun.
🌿 What’s Inside the Jar?
Our ingredient list is short because nature doesn't need much help:
Fresh Baby Kathal (Jackfruit): Meaty, tender chunks.
Mustard Oil: For that authentic, pungent depth.
Salt: For natural, healthy curing.
The Traditional Spice Mix: A aromatic blend of Fennel (Saunf), Fenugreek (Methi), and Nigella seeds (Kalonji).
Tangy Amchoor: High-quality Dry Mango Powder for a zesty finish.
Hing (Asafoetida): A pinch of pure Hing for digestion and a savory "umami" kick. 🌬️
🍽️ How to Enjoy Your Kathal Pickle
The heavy, savory nature of Kathal makes it incredibly versatile:
The "Meat-Free" Feast: It’s often called "Vegetarian Meat." Pair it with a simple Tawa Paratha for a filling, high-flavor breakfast. 🥞
Dal-Chawal Companion: Add a spoonful to your Dal and Steamed Rice to add texture and a spicy punch. 🍛
The Lunchbox Hero: Since it doesn't get mushy, it’s the perfect pickle to pack for office or school lunches. 🍱
