Chandra Vilas Special Ker Achaar – 500g: Authentic Rajasthani Pickle Crafted with Desert Berries and Royal Spices

Rajasthan is known not just for its majestic palaces and desert landscapes but also for its vibrant, spicy cuisine—especially its pickles, which are steeped in culture, heritage, and flavor. Among the most iconic of these is the Ker Achaar, a tangy, zesty, and spicy delicacy made from wild berries native to the Thar desert. Now, Chandra Vilas brings you this Rajasthani treasure in its most authentic and refined form with the Special Ker Achaar – 500g pack. Perfect for families, large households, and lovers of traditional Indian pickles.

This pickle is more than just a condiment—it’s a story of Rajasthan’s climate, history, and culinary wisdom captured in a jar. Made with time-honored recipes, sun-dried desert berries, freshly ground spices, and cold-pressed mustard oil, it delivers a bold, earthy, and utterly addictive taste.

🌿 What is Ker?

Ker (Capparis decidua) is a small, wild berry that thrives in the harsh conditions of Rajasthan’s desert regions. Known for its sour and slightly bitter flavor, ker is a staple in traditional Marwari kitchens. It’s the same ingredient used in the legendary dish Ker Sangri. However, when pickled with mustard oil and masalas, it transforms into a deliciously pungent and flavorful side dish that pairs well with a wide range of Indian meals.

🔥 Why Choose Chandra Vilas Special Ker Achaar?

Chandra Vilas, a name trusted across Rajasthan for decades, brings you this pickle with complete authenticity. Our Special Ker Achaar is not mass-produced—it is handcrafted in small batches using the same recipes and techniques followed by Rajasthani households for generations.

We use handpicked, pre-soaked ker berries, cleaned and sun-dried naturally to retain their nutritional value and sharpness of flavor. These berries are then pickled in cold-pressed mustard oil and seasoned with a proprietary blend of freshly ground spices.

🌟 Product Features & Highlights:
