Tangy & Probiotic
Deep green haakh meets moonj & mustard oil — classic Kashmiri pickle perfection.
The Tradition Behind Moonj Haakh Achaar
In Kashmir, winter haakh (collard greens) is preserved through natural lactic fermentation using moonj (Kashmiri wild celery) and pungent mustard oil. Our version follows the exact generational method: fresh organic haakh is washed, sun-wilted slightly, layered with moonj, garlic, red chilli, and mustard oil, then left to ferment slowly in earthen or glass vessels. The result is a living pickle full of probiotics, bright acidity, and the unmistakable aroma that defines Kashmiri winter kitchens.

What is Moonj Haakh Achaar?
Naturally fermented Kashmiri collard greens (haakh) pickled with moonj (wild celery seeds), mustard oil, garlic, and spices — no vinegar used.
Why is moonj used in this pickle?
Moonj adds the signature Kashmiri aroma and acts as a natural preservative during fermentation.
Is this pickle probiotic?
Yes — slow lactic fermentation creates live beneficial bacteria that support gut health.
How should I store the achaar?
Keep the jar in a cool, dark place. Always use a clean, dry spoon. Refrigerate after opening for longer shelf life (up to 6–8 months).
What does it taste like?
Tangy, mildly spicy, garlicky, with a distinct mustard-oil pungency and the warm celery-like aroma of moonj.
How do I serve Moonj Haakh Achaar?
Classic with plain steamed rice, roti, khichdi, rajma, or any lentil dish. Also excellent with yogurt rice or as a side in non-veg thalis.
Is it very spicy?
Medium spiced — enough warmth to feel Kashmiri, but not overpowering. You can adjust heat when serving by mixing with curd.
Can I use it in cooking?
Yes — many people add a spoonful to curries, dal, or even knead into paratha dough for extra flavor.
How long does fermentation take?
Traditionally 15–25 days depending on temperature. We let it ferment fully before packing so it’s ready to eat.
How is the achaar packaged and shipped?
Glass jars, double bubble-wrapped, shipped in sturdy boxes. Free shipping across India. Always packed fresh.
