Our story

Meet Krishna Kumari, the hands behind every jar

Krishna Kumari grew up in a home where summer meant cutting mangoes for avakaya and Sankranti meant days of ariselu, janthikalu and Bandar laddu. Zestora is her kitchen, opened up to you.

Pickles are mixed by hand and rested in ceramic jaadis, chicken is fried in small lots until every piece is dry and crisp, and podis are roasted on one stove, a batch at a time.

"I cook for your family the way I cook for mine: real ingredients, good oil and no shortcuts."

Krishna KumariFounder & head chef, Machilipatnam

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Something else? Message us and we'll reply within a few hours.

Ask on WhatsApp

How long do the pickles last?

Veg pickles keep for up to 12 months and chicken, mutton and prawn pickles for about 3 months. Always use a dry spoon, keep the oil layer on top, and refrigerate non-veg pickles after opening.

Is the chicken pickle boneless?

We make both. The Andhra chicken pickle is bone-in, the way it's traditionally made. Boneless, gongura chicken and pepper chicken pickles are all boneless.

Can I ask for less spice?

Yes. Add "less spicy" in the note at checkout. Each product shows its usual spice level with chillies.

Do you deliver outside Machilipatnam?

Yes, we deliver all over India. Pickles, pindi vantalu, podis and gift boxes go out in leak-proof packing and usually arrive in 3–6 days.

How do I pay?

After you place the order, we confirm it on WhatsApp and share UPI details. Cash on delivery is available in Machilipatnam, and cash or UPI is fine for kitchen pickup.

What if a jar arrives damaged?

Send us a photo on WhatsApp within 48 hours of delivery and we'll replace it or refund you. See our .

Do you take bulk or gifting orders?

Yes, for weddings, festivals, return gifts and offices. Send the quantity and date on WhatsApp and we'll share a quote.
