FAQ

At PrepMyPickle, you provide the ingredients—either by selecting from our bundles, customizing your mix, or ordering from a quick commerce platform. We prepare your pickle fresh, and you only pay a small preparation fee based on quantity. Once ready, you can choose delivery or self-pickup.

You can do both! We offer pre-set ingredient bundles, or you can customize your mix. Alternatively, you can order ingredients from platforms like Blinkit or BigBasket and have them delivered to our kitchen.

Our preparation fee covers everything needed to make your pickle perfectly:

✔ Cleaning: Meat is washed thoroughly with fresh water.
✔ Cutting: Ingredients are chopped into your chosen size.
✔ Frying: Meat/vegetables are deep-fried as per traditional methods.
✔ Cooking Costs: Gas/electricity used during preparation.
✔ Utensils & Equipment: All necessary cookware and tools.

You only pay for ingredients and a small preparation fee—no hidden charges!

We accept a minimum of 1kg for meat-based pickles to maintain quality and preparation standards. The maximum limit is 5kg to prevent misuse of our service for resale purposes. Our goal is to serve individuals and families who love fresh, homemade pickles!

If we receive your order before 8 AM, it will be ready to ship or collect by the next day before 8 PM. We will keep you updated on the status in case of any changes.

Absolutely! You can specify your spice, salt, and oil preferences while placing your order.

When you order a 1kg chicken or meat pickle bundle, you are getting 1kg of raw meat. After preparation (boiling and deep frying), the meat shrinks, but with the added ingredients, the final pickle weighs approximately 1kg to 1.1kg. This ensures you get the full quantity of the raw meat you paid for, unlike many vendors who provide fewer meat pieces with more gravy.

No, we do not remove anything. If the final pickle weighs more than 1kg due to the added ingredients (spices, oil, ginger garlic paste, etc.), you still get the entire batch. We believe in transparent pricing – you get everything that goes into the preparation, without any deductions.

At PrepMyPickle, we use only the highest quality ingredients—the same ones we trust in our own homes. Every item is carefully selected, cleaned, and prepared to maintain freshness and authenticity.

For Cooking oil, we strictly use only the top 5 trusted brands in the market, ensuring purity and quality.
For chilli powder, we don’t rely on pre-packed alternatives. Instead, we source fresh, high-quality chillies and grind them into pure, unadulterated chilli powder.
Similarly, for ginger-garlic paste, we prepare it fresh in-house using premium-quality ingredients—no artificial preservatives or shortcuts.

With us, you can be 100% assured that every ingredient in your pickle is carefully chosen and prepared with the utmost attention to quality!

We understand that ingredient authenticity is a top concern, especially when selecting options like cold-pressed oils. At PrepMyPickle, we source high-quality, fresh ingredients and ensure that your pickle is prepared exactly as per your order—no substitutions, no compromises!

To help you verify the quality of ingredients like cold-pressed vs. refined oil or groundnut oil vs. sunflower oil, we’ve created a detailed guide on how to identify them. You can check it here

We believe in giving you complete confidence in what goes into your pickle—because your trust means everything to us!

We believe in transparency and choice—our goal is not to profit from ingredients but to provide a hassle-free pickle-making service. While our bundled options offer convenience, we also allow customers to source their own ingredients if they prefer specific brands or quality. You only pay for preparation, not inflated ingredient costs!

Meat: Based on typical Hyderabad market rates

Spices: Based on the average market price

Oil: Priced as per local supermarkets

👉 Note: Prices may slightly vary based on your city or area. While we can’t ensure 100% accuracy in pricing for all locations, we use an average price based on the city we operate from to maintain fairness.

At PrepMyPickle, transparency and trust are our core values. If you send your own ingredients, we only use what you provide—nothing more, nothing less. We do not swap, replace, or hold back any portion. If you choose our ingredient bundles, rest assured that we use exactly what we list.

No. After preparation, the meat pieces alone will weigh around 350-400g due to the boiling and deep-frying process (for bone-in chicken). However, with the added ingredients like chili powder, ginger garlic paste, and leftover fried oil, the final pickle will weigh around 1kg or slightly more (around 1,100g).

During the process, the raw chicken is first boiled (reducing its weight to around 750g) and then deep-fried, which further reduces it to approximately 350-400g. This is a natural weight loss due to moisture evaporation and rendering of fat.

Absolutely! At PrepMyPickle, we operate with trust and transparency—your ingredients are yours, and we strictly do not substitute or pinch anything. If you send your own ingredients, your pickle will be prepared using exactly what you provide, without any changes.

We also understand that some ingredients—especially oil (sunflower vs. groundnut, refined vs. cold-pressed) and chilli powder—play a crucial role in the final taste and quality of your pickle. That’s why we encourage you to verify their authenticity upon receiving your pickle.

To help you identify key ingredients and ensure that what you ordered is exactly what you received, we’ve put together a detailed guide on recognizing different oils and spices. Check it out here.

With us, what you send is what you get—no compromises, just pure honesty!

Unlike many vendors who weigh the pickle after preparation (resulting in fewer meat pieces and more gravy), we ensure you get the full quantity of meat from the original raw weight. With PrepMyPickle, you’ll receive more meat pieces in your pickle compared to others.

Yes! PrepMyPickle is officially registered with FSSAI (Registration Number: 23625040000081), ensuring compliance with food safety and hygiene standards. Your pickle is made with care and quality!

All pickles are made fresh within 24 hours of receiving your ingredients or within a few hours if the order is from our bundle. We use no preservatives—just authentic homemade taste!

Our pickles have a shelf life of up to 1.5 months when stored in a cool, dry place. For longer freshness, refrigerate and use a dry spoon while serving. Since we don’t use preservatives, proper storage is key to maintaining the taste and quality

Absolutely not! We only use freshly cut and cleaned meat for every order. We work with trusted local shops to ensure it’s delivered fresh, never frozen.

Our cloud kitchens maintain strict hygiene standards. We clean all ingredients with fresh water, use food-grade utensils, and prepare each order separately to maintain purity and freshness.

The pickles are prepared in our dedicated cloud kitchens by experienced home-style cooks who specialize in traditional pickle-making. We follow strict hygiene standards and ensure that each batch is freshly made upon order.

Absolutely not! Once the meat pieces are fried, the same oil is used to mix with chili powder and spices to form the pickle gravy. This ensures the flavors are well-infused, and there is no chance of leftover oil unless the customer chooses a less oil option. Even in such cases, any excess oil is discarded, never reused between batches.

At PrepMyPickle, we believe in transparent pricing. Unlike other stores, we don’t add hidden margins to cover shipping costs. Since we only charge for preparation and not the ingredients, our margins are very minimal.

Yes, you can choose between different oils (Sunflower/Groundnut) or adjust spice levels. Also choose between Bone-in or Boneless meat.

The preparation fee varies based on the effort and resources required for cleaning, cutting, and cooking different types of meat.

For example, fish and prawns require extra care for descaling, deveining, and thorough cleaning. Mutton takes longer to cook, requiring more gas and slow cooking for the perfect texture. On the other hand, chicken is quicker and easier to cook, so its preparation cost is lower.

But don’t worry! The difference isn’t huge, and you can always see the exact prep fee when selecting your bundle. 😊
