History
Amla has been revered in the Himalayas for centuries — both as food and as medicine. In Garhwali and Kumaoni households, amla achar has been a winter ritual for generations. Grandmothers would sun-dry freshly picked amla, then slowly marinate it in mustard oil with homemade spice mixes, storing it in clay pots (matkas) for the season ahead. This achar was not just a condiment — it was considered immune-boosting nourishment, especially during the cold mountain winters. SIMDI's version is made exactly the same way, by women artisans in the villages of Pauri Garhwal.
