Welcome to the Kathiyawadi Pickle Corner, the heart of Aastha Sweets & Namkeen, where every jar tells a story of tradition and purity. Based in the historic city of Junagadh, our pickles are a tribute to the bold, rustic, and vibrant flavors of Kathiyawad.
Each batch is lovingly handcrafted by the women of the Shree Virbaai Maa Swa-Sahay Juth - 1, a dedicated self-help group committed to preserving the "Ghar Jevo Swaad" (home-like taste) that has been passed down through generations. From the unique sweet-and-spicy blend of our Khajur Marcha Nu Athanu to the classic favorites that complete every Gujarati thali, we use only the freshest ingredients and time-honored techniques.
We take pride in our "clean label" approach—ensuring that every bite of Aastha pickle is free from unnecessary additives, bringing you the honest, potent flavors of our heritage. Whether you are a local in Junagadh or ordering from across India, our mission is to bring a piece of our kitchen to yours.
Taste the Tradition. Support the Craft.
