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.

🍋 What Makes Chandra Vilas Nimbu Achaar 500g a Must-Try?

1. Juicy, Sun-Ripened Lemons

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.

2. Spices Hand-Roasted to Perfection

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.

3. Infused with Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil

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.

4. Fermented Naturally for Rich Flavor

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.
