Garlic Pickle (Lasoon Achar) – Why It's the King of Indian Pickles

If there is one pickle that belongs in every Indian kitchen — regardless of region, season, or occasion — it is Lasoon Achar. Garlic pickle is not just a condiment. It is a memory, a tradition, a flavour that lingers long after the meal is done. At India Kings Masala & Co., our Pure Lasoon Achar is made with whole garlic cloves, cold-pressed mustard oil, and hand-ground spices — the way it has always been made.

If you have been looking to buy garlic pickle online in India, here is everything you need to know before you do.

What Makes a Great Garlic Pickle?

The best garlic pickles share three things: quality garlic, the right oil, and patience. At India Kings Masala & Co., we use firm, aromatic garlic cloves that hold their shape through the pickling process. They are paired with cold-pressed mustard oil — the gold standard for Indian achaar — and a masala blend of mustard seeds, red chilli, turmeric, and hing. Then we let time do its work.

The result? Garlic cloves that are spicy on the outside, tender within, and deeply infused with the complex flavour of mustard oil and spice. It is the kind of Lasoon Achar your grandmother would approve of.

Health Benefits of Garlic Pickle

Garlic has been used in Ayurveda for centuries — and for good reason. When pickled in mustard oil, its benefits are preserved and even enhanced:

• Allicin in garlic is a powerful antimicrobial and immune-boosting compound
• Mustard oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and has natural antibacterial properties
• Fermentation-friendly spices like hing and turmeric aid digestion
• A small serving with meals can help stimulate appetite and support gut health

Of course, our Garlic Pickle is made with no artificial preservatives or colours — so every benefit you read about garlic actually applies to what is in your jar.

How to Use Garlic Pickle in Your Kitchen

Lasoon Achar is one of the most versatile pickles in the Indian pantry. Here are some of our favourite pairings:

• Dal chawal — a classic combination; the garlic cuts through the richness perfectly
• Stuffed parathas — place a clove alongside your aloo or gobi paratha for instant elevation
• Khichdi — the simplest dish becomes a feast with a spoonful of Lasoon Achar
• Curd rice — south Indian comfort food meets north Indian punch
• Sandwiches and wraps — yes, garlic pickle works brilliantly in a spicy veggie wrap

Frequently Asked Questions

Is whole garlic pickle better than minced garlic pickle?

Whole garlic pickles retain more texture, flavour, and nutritional value. The cloves absorb the masala gradually, creating a more complex and satisfying eating experience compared to minced varieties.

How should I store garlic pickle after opening?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always use a dry, clean spoon. Do not refrigerate — mustard oil-based pickles are best at room temperature. Refrigeration can cause the oil to solidify.

Can I eat garlic pickle daily?

Yes, in moderation. A small serving (one to two cloves) with your main meal is a healthy habit and aligns with traditional Indian dietary practices.
