Kair ka Aachar – Caperberry Pickle by Aapno Sa
“Straight from the deserts of Rajasthan to your plate – wild, bold, and beautifully tangy.”
In the sun-scorched lands of Rajasthan, the Kair plant (caperberry bush) grows wild and resilient—just like the people of the region. These tiny, tangy berries have long been treasured in Rajasthani cuisine for their unique flavor and ability to cut through rich meals. At Aapno Sa, we’ve bottled that very tradition in our Kair ka Aachar—a robust, earthy, and delightfully sour pickle that brings the true essence of Rajasthan to your table.
This is more than just a pickle—it’s a culinary heirloom, handcrafted with patience, passion, and purity.
🌾 Rooted in Rajasthani Heritage
Kair (Capparis decidua) is a native desert berry, commonly found in the arid regions of Western India, especially Rajasthan. For generations, locals have used it in both curries and pickles, appreciating its natural tang and health benefits. Our Kair ka Aachar uses only wild-harvested, hand-selected caperberries, which are washed, sun-dried, and naturally fermented to preserve their punchy flavor.
We follow an age-old family recipe where kair is soaked in cold-pressed mustard oil, and blended with aromatic spices like fenugreek seeds, saunf, red chili, hing, and nigella (kalonji). The result? A pickle that is sharp, citrusy, and deeply umami—perfect with everything from dal-chawal to bajre ki roti.
🫙 Crafted the Traditional Way—By Hand, In Small Batches
At Aapno Sa, we believe food made with care just tastes better. That’s why every batch of our Kair ka Aachar is:
-
Handmade, from start to finish
-
Naturally fermented, without shortcuts
-
Slow-cured under the sun, not machine processed
-
Sealed in glass jars for freshness and purity
We don’t use any artificial preservatives, additives, or synthetic oils. What you taste is nature, tradition, and the hard work of rural women who know their pickles like poetry.

💛 Aapno Sa – Taste of Rajwadis
At Aapno Sa, we believe food should feel aapno sa—warm, familiar, and comforting. Our pickles aren’t made in factories—they’re made in kitchens, with hands that know how to balance masala and emotion. Our Kair ka Aachar is no different—it’s a tribute to the desert, to tradition, and to the timeless love Indians have for their pickles.
Bring home a jar of bold heritage. Let the flavors of Rajasthan dance on your plate.
