Need suggestions on kairi pickle

So I wanted to get kairi pickle this summer. But I am not aware of brands both offline and online which make good quality pickle. I agree that taste varies from person to person and also from location-location so I am willing to give it a try. But, if possible, Maharashtrian flavoured pickle recommended.
I have some conditions which should be met.
1. Less salt(v.imp)- My tongue is very sensitive to anything high on salt. I don't mind having less salt.
2. Oil- Oil in moderate level is ok, but definitely not swimming/oozing/leaking with oil.
3. Spicy- Again, in moderation.

I agree that somethings or the other might exceed given it has to be preserved. But I really prefer one with less salt/moderate oil.
Also, is kairi pickle same as dry mango pickle. Amazon seems to be flooded with paid reviews so much so that it has become really difficult to get an idea about a product. I came across this(assuming its kairi pickle)-

https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01L8OW52W...olid=2TJMSKYCCJ7JR&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it /

Has anyone heard of this brand?
What are your suggestions?
Mods, I didn't know where to put it. If not the right place please move it to appropriate section.
 
i always liked from Pravin but too much vinegar i think.. tangy taste..

but if you want all the requirements then find someone homemade in your locality.. you can try as many as times in small qtys.
 
Have you tried finding a local or 'within family' source? We rarely buy any pickle and always prefer only homemade stuff.
 
I have tried pravin, mothers recipe and bedekar all seemed good as each of these have their own flavors/taste due to their own masalas ingredients etc.
Try Rambandhu as well its good. Just had today in lunch.

Hard to judge readymades but I always prefer home made pickles.

I will usually stay away from unknown brands.
Stay away from Priyas. Their products are crap but if you have followed them its your choice.

This was my first option. But family members are long distant so looking for readymade one.
I still have Mother's recipe lasun/garlic one coz I tried a similar garlic one at my uncle's place and found it good. But this one caused me issues like excess gas in stomach. Don't know who was the culprit, the garlic or the masala. Looking to get a smaller one, the earlier one is practically wasted(300 gms).
Corona makes it even harder to venture into different shops for a smaller package.. :disappointed:
@vaibhavyagnik thecha is out of my league if it's too spicy. I tried one Kolhapuri lal mirch thecha and it lasted me for more than a year, gave the remaining packets to my aunt since she had the appetite for such spicy stuff. Not me.

I guess it's difficult to recommend because taste is subjective, only if something is exceptional good or bad then it's worth pointing out.

I like the kolhapur thecha too.
 
Agreed. The objective of this thread was to get options and brands to stay away from.
Will see if I can get one today.
Btw, can anyone confirm if dry mango pickle is actually kairi pickle?
 
So this time I got Rambandhu's mango pickle as it was the most fresh of the lot. Will try different varieties to see which one suits my taste buds and my stomach. Fingers crossed.
A bit surprising fact I came across, this one has a less shelf life, like 9 months. Don't they usually have life of 12 months? This one's 200 gm.
Thanks for your suggestions..
