Garmar Pickle (Pickled Coleus Roots) – Traditional Oil-Free Gujarati Athanu in Mango Brine | Homemade | Buy Online 200g

What is Garmar Pickle?

Garmar Pickle, also known as Garmar nu Athanu, is a rare traditional Gujarati pickle made from Coleus roots (Garmar). Unlike regular pickles, this unique athanu is oil-free and prepared using a centuries-old method followed in Gujarati households.

At Gharnu Athanu, freshly harvested Garmar roots are carefully cleaned, sliced, and soaked in Mango Brine (Aam nu Pani) — the naturally sour water released during raw mango pickle preparation. Over time, the roots absorb the tangy mango flavour while retaining their signature crunch.

The result is a refreshing, naturally sour, crunchy pickle that represents a forgotten part of Gujarat's culinary heritage.

A Forgotten Gujarati Heritage Food

While it was once commonly prepared in Gujarati homes, many younger generations have never experienced this traditional pickle. Gharnu Athanu proudly continues this heritage recipe to preserve the authentic taste of Gujarat.
