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.

Why We Choose Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil

The sticker specifies cold-pressed groundnut oil for this recipe. It brings the garlic and spice mixture together in an oil base, carrying the seasoning through the pickle.

A Traditional Recipe, Made with Care

Asha and her group combine hands-on preparation with a traditional homemade recipe. This Garlic Pickle brings garlic together with cold-pressed groundnut oil, lemon juice, mustard dal, red chilli, turmeric and saindhav salt. Fennel, fenugreek, hing and nigella add their own character to the seasoning. The sticker also states that no artificial preservatives are used.
