How Swadhu Nadan Acharukal Started

Swadhu Nadan Acharukal began in our home kitchen in Thodupuzha when neighbors started asking for extra bottles of our family pickle recipe after every festival season. What started as a way to share home-cooked taste with friends soon grew into a small, trusted business built on one belief: every jar should taste exactly like pickle made by amma at home.

Today the same family still handles the preparation, from hand-cleaning ingredients to roasting spices and bottling each batch. We make pickles in small quantities so quality checks are never rushed, and we can maintain the authentic Kerala nadan flavor in every order.

Who Makes Your Pickles

Our kitchen team is our own family. The recipes are prepared by the women of our household, with support from the next generation for ingredient sourcing, packing, and customer delivery. This hands-on process keeps the taste consistent and gives every customer a direct connection to the people making the food.
