Dalle Chilli Nakima Pickle 250g

Description

Dalle Chilli Nakima Pickle is Sikkim’s most traditional fermented chilli preserve — made from the round, fiery Dalle chilli that grows only in the Eastern Himalayas. Certified organic, hand-prepared in small batches, and free from any artificial additives or preservatives.

What Makes Dalle Chilli Nakima Pickle Unique?

Nakima is a traditional Sikkimese preparation where the Dalle chilli is fermented with a signature blend of local aromatics and dried spices, creating a pickle that is far deeper in flavour than a simple brine or oil preserve. The fermentation develops a complex sour-heat profile — intensely spicy upfront, with a mellow, rounded finish that lingers.

Dalle chilli itself is one of India’s hottest chillies, rating between 100,000–350,000 Scoville Heat Units. In Sikkim, it has been cultivated for generations by small farming communities across the Dzongu and Rongyong valleys. Every jar of our Dalle Chilli Nakima Pickle is sourced directly from these certified organic farms — traceable, seasonal, and genuinely Himalayan.

Key reasons buyers choose it:

• Deep fermented flavour not found in commercially produced chilli pickles
• Certified organic from Sikkim — the world’s first 100% organic state
• No artificial colours, no synthetic preservatives, no MSG
• Small-batch preparation that preserves the natural tang of fermentation
• Pairs with rice, momos, thukpa, grilled meats, and cheese

How to Use Dalle Chilli Nakima Pickle

A single spoonful transforms a plain meal. Use it as a condiment alongside steamed rice and dal, stir a small quantity into a marinade for grilled meats, or serve as a bold side with momos and noodles. Because of its fermented depth, a little goes a long way — start with half a teaspoon and build to your heat tolerance.

The pickle also works well as a flavour base: mix into mayo, cream cheese, or yoghurt for an instant dip with serious Himalayan character.

About Our Dalle Chilli Nakima Pickle

Our Dalle Chilli Nakima Pickle is produced by farming families in Sikkim who have been making this preparation the same way for decades. The chilli is harvested at full ripeness, cleaned by hand, and combined with the Nakima spice blend before undergoing natural fermentation. No shortcuts, no factory processing.

Sikkim achieved 100% organic state certification in 2016 — the first state in the world to do so — and received the FAO Future Policy Gold Award in 2018 for its organic farming policy. Every product from Sikkim Organic carries that provenance.
