Description

I love fishing out my family recipe books, but it was just yesterday that I came across my mom’s Karonda Chilli Pickle recipe. And there I was taken aback to the beautiful carefree days of true culinary experience. Unlike these days, full of cosmopolitan food choices, yesteryear was full of granny-homemade pure recipes.

  • This is a made at home pickle, handcrafted in small batches only.
  • The colour and texture of Karonda in your jar would differ from the one in the pictures depending on the age of the pickle.
  • Each jar is 350 Gms
  • Now available in a larger and leak-proof jar.
  • GST and Shipping would be added on checkout.
  • The products are made fresh, hence it takes a longer time to process. Please allow us 2 to 3 weeks to service your request.

Karonda Ka Achar – Seasonal pickle made of natal plum/karonda and Green Chilies

Karonda/Natal plum is a small-sized berry which is sour and grows abundantly on thorny bushes during monsoon season in India. White and pink when tender, it turns red to purple when it matures fully. It mainly grows in tropical and subtropical regions.

Karonda also has a few medicinal properties such as it helps to cure worms, fungal infections, anaemia, diarrhoea, fever, skin and ear infections. Karonda is a tart berry, so it is mainly used for making pickles, chutney, jam and different types of preserves.

Right when karonda crops are small and begin to reap with tender seeds inside, the plum should be plucked as that is the best form to make pickle.

I love making different pickles and chutneys, so I got a bag of karonda from a friends farm at Tijara and made this Karonda Ka Achar.

Origin of Karonda

Karonda is one of the many berry-like fruits believed to originate near the Himalayas, though some botanists place the fruit’s origin to Java. Its natural range extends from Nepal to Afghanistan and encompasses several parts of northern India throughout that stretch.

Today, the fruit appears throughout the tropical areas of the Indian Ocean, tropical Asia, the Arabian peninsula, and stretches down to parts of Australia. Karondas is also cultivated throughout Africa. A few African countries, including Kenya and Ethiopia, have a rich history of utilizing the fruit for medicinal purposes.

Karonda’s many nom de plumes such as num num, nam phrom, and parunkila, indicate its ubiquity throughout the world. Despite the fruit’s wide native range, only a few commercial ventures process and sell the fruit.

Availability of Karonda in India

Today, the fruit grows throughout several regions including the Siwalik Hills, Bihar, West Bengal, the Western Ghats, Karnataka and the Nilgiri hills. It thrives in tropical and subtropical regions without heavy rainfall.

The drought-resistant nature of the plant enables the tribal areas of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Bihar to grow the fruit on a limited scale. The Bhil tribe in Rajasthan sells karonda leaves for rolling tobacco paper to beedi manufacturers. Many of these groups also value the plant for its medicinal qualities. In the Jashpur district, for instance, the tree’s roots kill the worms in the wounds of cattle, and the Munda tribe in Chota Nagpur uses the roots to treat rheumatism.

The fruit is harvest from August to October, though unripe fruits get plucked in May and June. More specifically, the harvest in the north occurs during the summer months of May to July, and some trees in the south bloom and yield fruit sporadically year-round.

This pickle was great when I ordered it the first time - reddish-green, tangy and with less masala. This time it tastes like the common 200 rupee karonda pickle available on Amazon. The quantity is also pathetic. To command a premium pricing, the product should be reliable in taste.

It caught fungus in 20 days. And the taste was not that great. Sorry for a very honest negative feedback.
