🍈 What Is Gunda?

Gunda, also known as gumberry or cordia, is a small green fruit with a naturally sticky pulp and subtle taste. Native to India, gunda is typically harvested during the summer season and pickled while still green and firm. When prepared correctly, gunda develops a unique texture—firm on the outside and slightly gummy on the inside—making it the perfect base for spicy Indian pickles.

🌶️ Why Chandra Vilas Gunda Achar is Special

1. Handpicked Gunda Fruits:

We source only the best seasonal gunda from local farms. Each fruit is sorted, cleaned, and destemmed by hand to ensure quality and consistency.

2. Authentic Rajasthani Spice Blend:

Our masala is a blend of coarsely ground mustard, fenugreek, asafoetida (hing), red chili, turmeric, and a dash of lemon juice for tang. No artificial flavors—only spices your grandmother would use.

3. Cold Pressed Mustard Oil:

We pickle our gunda in premium cold-pressed mustard oil, which enhances the flavor, improves shelf life, and offers a touch of sharpness that's signature to traditional achaar.

4. Fermented to Perfection:

Our gunda achar is sun-matured over days, sometimes weeks, to allow the flavors to blend and deepen naturally. This slow fermentation gives the achar its pungency, complexity, and aroma.

5. Traditional Preparation Method:

Unlike mass-produced pickles, Chandra Vilas Gunda Achar is made in small batches using old-world recipes. Every jar you open tells the story of heritage, patience, and precision.
