Gongura Pickle

• Tangy, spicy, and irresistibly flavorful — Andaal Home Foods’ Gongura Pickle is the pride of Andhra cuisine, crafted from freshly harvested roselle leaves (gongura) and traditional home-ground spices. It’s not just a pickle — it’s Andhra in a jar.

  For generations, Gongura (sorrel leaves) has been a staple in Telugu homes, celebrated for its unique sourness and its ability to transform a simple meal into a feast. Whether served with hot rice and ghee or alongside dosa, idli, or curd rice, Gongura Pickle holds a special place in every Andhra kitchen.

  At Andaal Home Foods, we bring this traditional favorite to life using freshly plucked gongura leaves sourced from local farms, slow-cooked with a hand-blended mix of spices and preserved in cold-pressed gingelly oil for that authentic, rustic taste.

  Our recipe comes straight from Andaal’s kitchen — a simple but powerful method perfected over decades. The gongura leaves are carefully cleaned, sun-wilted, and sautéed until their natural tang deepens. They’re then ground with roasted red chillies, garlic, mustard, and fenugreek — creating a thick, fiery paste that’s preserved in sesame oil for long-lasting flavor.

  Unlike factory-made versions, our Gongura Pickle has no preservatives, colors, or artificial flavoring. Each batch is handmade in small quantities to ensure freshness, aroma, and authenticity. The result? A bold, tangy, and spicy pickle that’s perfectly balanced — sour enough to wake your taste buds, but smooth enough to make you crave the next bite.

  If you’re an Andhra native, this will feel like home. If you’re new to Telugu cuisine, this jar will be your delicious introduction.
