About this product

Lemons are quartered, packed in salt and left for three weeks until the rind gives way under a spoon. Masala and oil go in only after that, which is why the pieces stay soft instead of turning leathery. Sharp, salty and only gently hot.

Standards

What we check before a product is listed

Four things we do not compromise on, because a handmade product is judged on all of them.

No preservatives in food
Pickles are cured with oil and salt, not vinegar and stabilisers. Bakery is dispatched within a week of baking.
Azo-free dyes in textiles
Reactive and natural dyes only, printed and dried in shade so the colour bonds to the fibre instead of sitting on it.
Cure times are respected
Six weeks for cold-process soap, four weeks for pickle, three weeks for lemon. Shortening these is how a handmade product is made to look handmade.
Batch-tested where it matters
Honey, ghee and spices are tested for adulteration before packing, and the report is available on request.

Ask about this product

How long does one jar last once opened?

It is shelf stable and does not need refrigeration. At one spoon a day, a 400 g jar runs about two months.

Who actually makes these products?

How is a Saahvi price worked out?

The group quotes a price that covers its material cost and the wage it wants to pay. We add packing, courier and our commission on top and show the split. Groups can change their quote at any time, and we do not negotiate it downwards.

How long will my order take?

“I bought the mango pickle expecting the usual jar. It is properly hot and the oil cap is real mustard oil. I have ordered it three times now and sent the honey to my mother.”
