Belumbu Blast is a spicy, tangy Bangladeshi pickle made from intensely sour bilimbi (belumbu), curry leaves, and mustard oil. Wildly bold and unforgettable.

Product Story

Belumbu doesn’t ask for attention — it demands it.
Sharp, sour, electric — this rare tropical fruit, also known as Bilimbi or Irumbapuli, is the kind of flavor you taste before your tongue even touches it.

With Belumbu Blast, we’ve tamed this wild fruit just enough to turn its fierce acidity into a balanced, addictive achar. Blended with our custom masala, mustard seeds, curry leaves, a hit of hing (হিং), and just the right spice level — it’s an experience. Not just a side dish.

The moment it touches your tongue, you’ll feel that signature mouth-watering sourness — followed by a bold, savory warmth from chilies and turmeric. It’s moderately spicy, but completely explosive in flavor.

Think of it as the citric firecracker of pickles.
