From Pickles to Dips: The Evolution of Achari Flavors in India

A quest to bring Achars out of Indian Thalis, ends here!

Indian cuisine is famous for its bold and diverse flavors. If you're a fan of Indian cuisine, you know that a meal isn't complete without some tangy and spicy pickle/achar to complement your thali. For generations, achar has been a staple in Indian households, adding flavour and depth to even the simplest dishes. From the fiery curries of the south to the rich and creamy dishes of the north, Indian food is a true feast for the senses incomplete without our humble pickle/ achar.

Why was it important to bring Achar out of the Indian thali?

Traditionally, achar has been served as a side dish in Indian thalis and platters as a flavorful and spicy accompaniment that complements the main course. We believe achar deserves to be more than just a side dish. No more confined to Indian Thalis, Goosebumps has given Achars its long-due form a DIP! It was our quest to bring achars out of Indian Thali and explore the world. It has so much potential to enhance any meal.

Goosebumps’ Achievement?

By turning achar into a dip, we've made it more accessible and versatile, allowing it to be enjoyed in a variety of ways. For starters, achar is a flavor bomb.
