Why Make Pickles with Cold Pressed Oils?

Indian achars are all about patience, spice, and the right oil. Traditionally, cold pressed oils were the go-to choice - and for good reason. When you make pickles with cold pressed oils, you get a perfect blend of aroma, taste, and shelf life that refined oils can never match.

Here’s why cold pressed oils work wonders for achars:

• Pure extraction, pure flavour: No heat means the oil retains its natural aroma and nutrients.
  

• Perfect preservative base: Cold pressed oils have natural stability that helps pickles last longer.
  

• Authentic texture: They give pickles that luscious, thick coating that soaks up all the masalas beautifully.

Simply put, pickles with cold pressed oils aren’t just tastier - they’re more authentic, more traditional, and undeniably more satisfying.

Classic Indian Pickles You Can Make with Cold Pressed Oils

The art of pickle-making varies from home to home - every family has its own “secret recipe.” But one thing stays constant: the role of oil. Here’s how Tata Simply Better’s cold pressed oils can elevate your favourite varieties.

1. Mango Pickle - The Ultimate Achar with Cold Pressed Mustard Oil

No Indian kitchen is complete without aam ka achar. When you make pickles with cold pressed oils like mustard oil, you get that signature pungency and boldness that defines North Indian-style pickles. Mustard oil enhances the tang of raw mangoes and helps the spices seep in perfectly over time.

2. Lemon Pickle - A Zesty Favourite with Cold Pressed Sesame Oil

Lemon pickle is all about balance - the zing of lemon, the spice of masala, and the smoothness of oil. Cold pressed sesame oil adds that nutty undertone, giving your lemon achar the depth it deserves.

3. Mixed Vegetable Pickle - Colourful, Crunchy, and Made with Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil

From cauliflower and carrots to turnips and beans - this one’s a winter essential. Cold pressed groundnut oil binds all the flavours together, keeping every vegetable crisp and full of flavour. These pickles with cold pressed oils are perfect to enjoy with rotis or khichdi alike.

4. Garlic Pickle - Spicy Goodness with Cold Pressed Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil has a light flavour that lets the garlic and spices shine. This version is smooth, fiery, and incredibly versatile - it pairs with literally everything, from poha to pulao.

5. Green Chilli Pickle - Fiery, Tangy, and Irresistible with Cold Pressed Mustard Oil

For those who like their food with a kick, pickles with cold pressed oils like mustard oil bring the perfect heat. The oil’s strong aroma and natural preservation qualities make sure your green chilli achar stays as bold as day one.

The Secret to Perfect Pickles Lies in the Oil

Pickle-making may seem simple - just spices, salt, and oil - but the right oil makes all the difference. Here’s what to remember when making pickles with cold pressed oils:

• Always dry your ingredients well: Even a drop of moisture can spoil your achar.
  

• Warm the oil slightly before mixing: This helps the spices release their full aroma.
  

• Let the pickle rest: Store it for a few days before tasting. The flavours deepen beautifully.
  

• Use sterilised jars: Keep your pickles safe and fresh for months.

And most importantly - be generous with your oil! That luscious layer not only adds flavour but also protects the achar.
