Chandra Vilas Nimbu Achaar – 500g | Traditional Rajasthani Lemon Pickle Packed with Heritage, Taste & Health
Chandra Vilas Nimbu Achaar – 500g is more than just a tangy addition to your plate—it's a bite into India’s age-old culinary traditions. Carefully crafted using premium lemons, sun-cured and blended with hand-roasted Indian spices, this pickle is a vibrant medley of sour, salty, and mildly bitter flavors that age beautifully in cold-pressed mustard oil. The 500g pack is the perfect size for medium households, offering weeks of authentic taste that pairs perfectly with your daily meals.
For generations, lemon pickle (or nimbu ka achaar) has been cherished in Indian kitchens. But not all pickles are created equal. Chandra Vilas, a legacy brand from the royal land of Jodhpur, ensures every jar carries the same love, tradition, and purity as homemade achaar. With over 80 years of culinary wisdom, Chandra Vilas brings you a product that’s handcrafted, preservative-free, and absolutely irresistible.
Only the best lemons make it to our pickle vats. We select them for their thickness of skin, juice retention, and natural tartness. These are then thoroughly cleaned, chopped, and sun-dried for days to reduce moisture while intensifying flavor—an essential step in traditional pickle-making.
The flavor of the pickle comes not just from the lemons but also from the carefully curated and roasted masalas. A mix of:
Fennel seeds (saunf)
Fenugreek (methi dana)
Mustard seeds (rai)
Turmeric (haldi)
Red chilli powder
Carom seeds (ajwain)
Asafoetida (hing)
is hand-roasted until aromatic and then blended in just the right proportions. These spices give our lemon pickle its iconic Rajasthani taste—bold, zesty, and soul-satisfying.
No refined oils here. Only pure, cold-pressed mustard oil is used, which is gently warmed and poured over the lemons and spices to seal in flavor. This oil not only adds depth to the taste but acts as a natural preservative, allowing the pickle to mature gracefully without the need for synthetic chemicals.
Unlike commercial pickles that use vinegar and artificial preservatives, our Nimbu Achaar is fermented over several weeks in large, sterilized containers. This slow-aging method allows the lemons to absorb the essence of the spices and oil, creating a harmonious burst of flavors in every bite.
