Yes — and we mean it literally. Every jar of Maa Ka Pyaar is made by hand in our home kitchen in Brahampuri, Meerut. No factory, no assembly line, no machine doing the stirring. The same hands that learned these recipes from family make every batch you order.

Homemade means the quantities are small, the attention is high, and no two batches are identical — because real food made by real people never is. If you notice a slight difference in colour or spice level between jars, that’s not a flaw. That’s handmade.

We use whole, real ingredients — raw mangoes, fresh lemons, mustard oil, and whole spices like methi, kalonji, saunf, haldi and lal mirch. Everything is sourced fresh and used in its natural form. No extracts, no concentrates, no lab-made flavour enhancers.

Our products contain zero artificial colours, zero artificial preservatives, and zero ingredients your daadi wouldn’t recognise. The full ingredients list is printed on every jar and listed on every product page — we believe in total transparency about what goes into your food.

We are FSSAI certified (Licence No. 22725673000210), which means our kitchen, process and ingredients meet the food safety standards set by the Government of India.

Our achars and chatnis have a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacturing — the exact date is printed on every jar. That said, they rarely last that long once opened.

You do not need to refrigerate our products. In fact, we recommend you don’t — cold temperatures can affect the texture and slow down the natural maturation of the spices. Store your jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

The most important rule: always use a clean, dry spoon. Water is the only real enemy of a good achar. Keep it dry, keep it happy.
