Our Story
A recipe with real history.
These recipes go back to Elliot and Esther Bolst. They had a prosperous life in India until the Great Depression cost them their coffee plantation. With five children and no way to feed and educate them all, four had to be sent to an orphanage for a time.
Elliot and Esther started earning again by delivering home-cooked curry and rice lunches by bicycle. Other families began asking for their curry paste and condiments, and it grew into Bolst's Indian Condiments and, in time, a large pickle factory in Bangalore carrying the family name. Their success meant they could bring all their children home.
The family later settled in Australia, Canada and the UK, taking the recipes with them. The Bangalore factory still operates today, though it is no longer family-owned. Four Ladies carries the tradition forward: small batches, made properly, the way it's always been done.
