The Story Behind Gunda Kairi Pickle
In the heart of Gujarat, where culinary traditions are as vibrant as the festivals, the Gunda Kairi Pickle holds a special place in every household. This iconic achar dates back generations, born out of the need to preserve summer’s bounty—raw mangoes and gunda (also known as glue berries or bird lime fruit). Gunda, with its unique fibrous texture, was paired with the tang of raw mangoes and slow-fermented using mustard, cumin, fenugreek, and hing in groundnut oil. The result was a deeply flavorful, spicy, and tangy pickle that could accompany the simplest khichdi or the grandest Gujarati thali. Passed down from grandmothers to mothers, this achar is more than just a condiment—it's a taste of home, tradition, and heritage.
How It’s Made
This traditional Gujarati pickle is prepared using an age-old method:
1️⃣ Fresh raw mangoes and Gunda (Glue Berries) are handpicked and carefully cleaned.
2️⃣ They are mixed with red chili powder, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek, turmeric, and hing (asafoetida) for the perfect spice blend.
3️⃣ Everything is blended with groundnut oil and placed under natural sunlight for fermentation.
4️⃣ The pickle has matured over time, enhancing its depth of flavor and achieving its signature Gujarati taste.
