We wouldn't be a South Asian spice company without an epic Achari Masala. So we teamed up with bestselling author, Nik Sharma to create the most incredible one out there. Indian pickles differ from the pickles of the West, while those usually involve gherkins soaked in vinegar or pickle brine, Indian pickles are far more complex. Achars as they are more popularly known as consist of fruits, vegetables or meats, fermented in salt, oil and hella spices for days until it turns into fiery, tangy magic that sneaks its way into every meal. This Achari Masala packs all the flavor you need to make anything achari or even to add a zing to your daily cooking.
Please note: the current batch of Achari Masala has a best by date of October 2026.

Grown by our beloved Kasaraneni family amidst marigolds, bananas, and black rice on their 3rd generation farm. Whilst Mr. Prabhu Kasaraneni’s family has been farming for three generations, he is a self-taught organic farmer who began growing heirloom Pragati turmeric in 2015, with assistance from the Indian Institute of Spice Research.
This is the spice Sana started the company with! In search of an heirloom turmeric that was regeneratively grown as well as delicious, she was recommended to Mr. Prahbu Kasareneni by the Indian Institute of Spice Research. Prahbu was a young idealistic farmer, and the only one in his area to start growing regeneratively, which initially brought critique from nearby farmers, until they saw how well he was doing. Today, it is still one of our most well-loved spices, and for good reason—it's delicious!
