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.

✔ 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.

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!

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.

By default, we pack in food-grade pouches, but if you prefer, we offer bottle packaging for a small additional fee.

We prepare both veg and non-veg pickles. Whether it’s traditional mango, lemon, or tomatoes pickle or non-veg varieties like chicken, mutton, or fish, we ensure the same quality and authenticity in every batch.

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. 😊
