Nalini's Pickle Collection - Sun-cured in Small Batches

Nalini’s Pickle Collection is a lovingly curated range of small-batch achars inspired by the kitchens of Kashmir and the recipes passed down through generations. Crafted by Nalini Moti Sadhu, owner/chef Matamaal Restaurants, each jar balances bold spices, seasonal produce, and time-honoured techniques—slowly matured, deeply flavourful, and unmistakably homemade. These pickles are meant to be opened sparingly, savoured slowly, and remembered long after the meal is over.

Nalini Moti Sadhu is the heart and soul behind Matamaal and Nalini’s Pickle Collection. A custodian of Kashmiri Pandit culinary traditions, she has spent decades cooking, documenting, and preserving recipes that are deeply personal and rooted in everyday home kitchens. Her food is quiet, honest, and precise—guided by instinct, memory, and respect for ingredients. Every jar and every dish she creates carries the warmth of a Kashmiri home and the confidence of a cook who knows exactly why something is done the way it is.
