A Taste of Tradition: Indian Summer Pickles You Can Make with MyLocalmart
Summer in India isn’t complete without the mouth-watering aroma of homemade pickles wafting through the house. For many South Indian families, pickle-making is a seasonal tradition that brings generations together — combining fresh produce, sun-drying techniques, and a blend of fiery spices. At MyLocalMart, we bring you everything you need to continue this tradition, right here in the UK.
Why Summer Pickling?
Summer is the ideal time for making pickles due to the abundant sunshine, which helps naturally preserve and intensify the flavours. It’s also the season for mangoes, lemons, gooseberries, and chillies — classic choices for South Indian pickles.
Pickles You Can Make with MyLocalMart Ingredients:
Mango Avakkai (Raw Mango Pickle): Use our fresh raw mangoes, mustard seeds, fenugreek, red chilli powder, and gingelly oil to create this fiery Andhra favourite.
Lemon Pickle: With our juicy Indian lemons, rock salt, and aromatic spices, you can make a tangy and spicy lemon pickle that only gets better with age.
Narthangai Pickle (Citron Pickle): A Tamil Nadu classic made from narthangai (available in season), salt, turmeric, and green chillies. It pairs perfectly with curd rice.
Amla Pickle (Indian Gooseberry): Packed with nutrients, our fresh amla combined with red chillies, mustard, and sesame oil creates a healthy, tangy side dish.
Green Chilli Pickle: Spice lovers can try pickling our fresh green chillies in mustard seeds, turmeric, and lemon juice — a perfect punch for any meal.
