BD Garlic Pickle

BD Garlic Pickle features whole garlic cloves that have been pickled in mustard oil with turmeric, chilli, and Bengali spices until they turn golden and develop a mellow, roasted depth that raw garlic never achieves. The combination of garlic and mustard oil is particularly Bangladeshi -- both ingredients are bold and pungent on their own, and together they create a garlic pickle condiment that is...

Ruchi Boroi Chutney

Ruchi Boroi Chutney is the sweeter, smoother cousin of boroi pickle. Where the pickle is spicy and mustard-oil-forward, this Bengali chutney takes the jujube fruit in a different direction -- cooked down with sugar, tamarind, and mild spices into a jammy, sweet-sour condiment that works as both a dipping sauce and a meal accompaniment. In Bengali cuisine, a sweet chutney served at the end of...

Shan Chilli Pickle

Shan Chilli Pickle is built for heat lovers. Whole red chilli pieces are pickled in mustard oil with fenugreek seeds, nigella, and a proprietary blend of ground spices that gives this chilli pickle its deep, warm complexity beyond simple burn. The chillies soften in the oil over time, developing a rich, slightly smoky character that rewards patience -- the longer the jar sits, the better...

Shan Mango Pickle

Shan Mixed Pickle

Shan Mixed Pickle brings together multiple vegetables and fruits -- typically mango, carrot, lime, chilli, and turnip -- pickled in mustard oil with a balanced spice blend. The beauty of a mixed pickle is variety in every spoonful: one bite might deliver the tartness of lime, the next the crunch of carrot, and the next the warmth of chilli. This is the achar for people...

Ruchi Mango Pickle

Ruchi Mango Pickle is a staple in Bangladeshi households, and for good reason. Raw mango pieces are preserved in mustard oil with a Bengali-style spice blend that leans into the fruit's natural tartness rather than fighting it. The flavour is sharp, sour, and warmly spiced -- distinctly different from Pakistani-style mango pickle, with mustard oil playing a more prominent role. This is the mango achar...

Ruchi Olive Pickle

Ruchi Olive Pickle is a distinctly Bangladeshi creation that takes the Indian olive (jalpai) and transforms it into something entirely South Asian. Indian olives are pickled in mustard oil with chilli, turmeric, and Bengali spice blends, producing a condiment that is simultaneously briny, sour, and warmly spiced. This olive pickle tastes nothing like Mediterranean olives in brine -- it is its own thing entirely. Ruchi...

Ruchi Mixed Pickle

Ruchi Mixed Pickle combines several vegetables and fruits -- typically mango, olive, chilli, and other seasonal ingredients -- into a single jar that offers variety without the need to stock multiple pickles. The Bengali-style preparation relies heavily on mustard oil, which gives this mixed pickle its distinctive pungent base note that Pakistani and North Indian versions do not always share. Ruchi is one of Bangladesh's...

Ruchi Garlic Pickle

Ruchi Garlic Pickle is for those who believe garlic makes everything better. Whole cloves are pickled in mustard oil with chilli, turmeric, and spices until they transform from sharp and raw into something mellower, sweeter, and deeply savoury. The cloves soften in the oil while retaining a satisfying bite, creating a garlic pickle that works as both a condiment and a standalone snack for garlic...

Ruchi Chalta Pickle

Ruchi Chalta Pickle features one of Bengal's most distinctive pickle fruits -- the chalta, also known as elephant apple (Dillenia indica). This is not a fruit you will find in Western supermarkets, and its flavour is unlike anything in the standard pickle repertoire. Chalta is extremely tart and slightly astringent, and when pickled in mustard oil with Bengali spices, it becomes a uniquely sour, complex...

Ruchi Boroi Pickle

Ruchi Boroi Pickle takes the boroi -- a small, round jujube fruit beloved across Bangladesh -- and preserves it in the traditional pickle style with mustard oil, chilli, and Bengali spices. Unlike the sweeter boroi chutney, this Bengali pickle version leans savoury and spicy, with the fruit's natural sweetness providing a background note rather than taking centre stage. Boroi pickle is a seasonal treasure in...

Ruchi Satkora Pickle

Ruchi Satkora Pickle features one of the most distinctive ingredients in Bengali cooking -- the satkora, a rough-skinned citrus fruit native to the Sylhet region of Bangladesh. Satkora has a flavour profile that is impossible to substitute: intensely bitter, sour, and aromatic, with a fragrance that fills the room. Pickled in mustard oil with chilli and Bengali spices, this satkora pickle is a condiment for...

Ruchi Alu Bokhara Pickle

Ruchi Alu Bokhara Pickle is made from dried plums (alu bukhara) -- a prized ingredient in South Asian cooking that brings a unique combination of natural sweetness, deep tartness, and a chewy, jammy texture to the pickle jar. Unlike sharply sour pickles, alu bokhara achar has a rounder, more complex flavour profile. This Bengali pickle is in a class of its own. Ruchi is a...

Pran Naga Pickle

Pran Naga Pickle is not for the faint-hearted. Made with naga chilli -- also known as bhut jolokia, once certified as the world's hottest pepper -- this hot chilli pickle delivers a level of heat that goes far beyond ordinary chilli achar. The naga chilli's unique character is not just about raw burn; it has a fruity, almost smoky undertone that makes the heat complex...

BD Boroi Jujube Chutney

BD Boroi Chutney is a classic Bangladeshi sweet-sour condiment made from boroi (jujube fruit), cooked down with sugar, tamarind, and aromatic spices into a thick, glossy Bengali chutney. The jujube fruit gives this chutney a unique flavour that sits between apple and date, with a pleasant tartness that the sugar rounds out into something deeply satisfying. BD is a trusted Bangladeshi food brand, and their...

BD Tamarind Chutney

BD Tamarind Chutney delivers the quintessential sweet-sour flavour that tamarind is celebrated for across South Asian cuisine. Tamarind pulp is cooked down with sugar, salt, and a subtle spice blend to create a thick, dark Bengali chutney with a flavour that is at once deeply tart and warmly sweet. Tamarind chutney is the backbone of chaat preparations and one of the most versatile condiments in...

BD Mixed Pickle

BD Mixed Pickle brings together a selection of vegetables and fruits -- each cut and prepared to hold its texture -- into a mustard oil base with traditional Bengali spices. The appeal of a mixed pickle is its unpredictability: every spoonful delivers a slightly different combination of flavours and textures. This is the everyday achar for families who want variety without buying multiple jars. BD...

BD Olive Pickle

BD Olive Pickle takes the Indian olive (jalpai) and preserves it in the unmistakable Bangladeshi style -- heavy mustard oil, generous chilli, and a spice blend that emphasises the fruit's natural brininess and slight bitterness. Unlike Mediterranean olives in brine, this olive pickle is infused with the pungency of mustard oil and the warmth of Bengali spices, creating something that feels entirely new if you...

BD Mango Pickle

BD Mango Pickle is the everyday mango achar that Bangladeshi families rely on to complete their meals. Raw mango pieces are preserved in mustard oil with turmeric, red chilli, and salt in a preparation that prioritises the fruit's natural tartness above all else. This is not a fancy or elaborate pickle -- it is the straightforward, tangy Bengali pickle mango achar that goes with everything....

Shan Hyderabadi Pickle

Shan Hyderabadi Pickle draws on the legendary culinary tradition of Hyderabad, where pickles are treated as an art form. This premium achar features a distinctive spice profile that sets it apart from standard pickles -- expect layers of flavour from roasted spices, a pronounced warmth from dried chillies, and an aromatic depth that reflects the Nizami kitchen's love of complex, layered seasoning. The larger jar...
