AKA "Kul Aachar". This is fruity, sticky, sweet and spicy preserve showcases the beauty of Indian dates (jujube). Sohini makes this preserve by popping the dates with her hands, then soaking with jaggery, crushed nigella seeds, soaked and crushed mustard seeds, then adding black salt and lemon, to make an addictive mix of flavours.
The seeds and flesh of the Kolkata-sourced kul are kept in the preserve, so it's a zero-waste product. Kul is really seasonal, but can be kept dehydrated to be enjoyed throughout the year. This jaggery and spices preserve the sweet fruit!
Sohini's habu (grandfather) was a passionate aachar maker, and a creative chef. Despite the social expectations of his time demanding that men focus on their day jobs, he found most joy spending time at the bajaar and creating preserves for the family.
It's best served with rice and lentils, or paired with cured meats or cheeseboards. Sohini also loves eating this with some sticky rice and steamed fish!
