Description
There is a secret to the perfect Kadipatta Chutney, and Asha Jadhav Tai from Satara has mastered it over the last 10 years. Our Dry Curry Leaves Chutney is not just a condiment; it’s a piece of culinary heritage passed down from Asha Tai’s mother (Aai). What makes this chutney extraordinary is the "Shade-Drying" technique. Instead of drying the leaves in the harsh sun, which strips away the oils and color, the leaves are dried slowly in the shade to lock in their vibrant green hue and intense natural aroma.
Handcrafted by a dedicated Women’s Self-Help Group in Jawali, Satara, every batch is made with the same love and precision you'd find in a village home. At Past In Present Agro, we ensure that Asha Tai’s traditional process remains untouched—no machines, no chemicals, and absolutely no preservatives. It is a savory, nutty, and aromatic blend that brings the soulful taste of Maharashtra’s rural kitchens straight to your dining table. 🍃✨

Know Your Maker
Asha Jadhav, Our Maker from Satara
At 50, Asha Jadhav balances the responsibilities of her home with running her food-making enterprise in Satara. Alongside caring for her household, she leads work that provides employment to more than 20 women, bringing a shared love of traditional cooking into their everyday livelihoods.
For PIP AGRO, Asha Tai and her team make a varied range of chutneys, festive Diwali faral and several kinds of pickles. Each recipe has its own character, yet there is a familiar thread running through them: the warmth and flavour of food made in an Indian home kitchen.
What keeps us coming back to her food is the taste. Across such a varied range, her recipes remind us of our grandmothers’ cooking, the traditions of the Indian kitchen and the flavours we grew up with. It is that feeling of home, as much as the individual recipe, that we want to share with you.
Behind these familiar flavours is Asha Tai’s daily effort, balancing home and work while creating opportunities for other women in Satara. We are proud to bring her food to your table and share the story of the women who make it.
