Lemon Pickle

• Bright, tangy, and full of sunshine — Andaal Home Foods’ Lemon Pickle (Nimmakaya Uragaya) is an Andhra household essential that transforms any meal into a feast. Made with farm-fresh lemons, sun-cured in salt and turmeric, and blended with hand-ground Andhra spices, this pickle embodies everything Telugu cuisine stands for — simplicity, balance, and boldness.

  At Andaal Home Foods, we recreate the exact process used by generations of Telugu homemakers. Fresh lemons are washed, cut, and sun-dried just enough to soften their rinds while retaining their juiciness. Then, they’re mixed with roasted mustard, fenugreek, and red chilli powders — all hand-pounded — and preserved in cold-pressed gingelly oil for a flavor that deepens beautifully over time.

  The tang of lemon, the aroma of spices, and the richness of sesame oil blend perfectly to create a pickle that’s both zesty and soulful. Whether served with hot rice and ghee, alongside curd rice, or as a side for dosas and parathas, every spoonful bursts with authentic Andhra flavor.

  This is not a mass-produced pickle; it’s a piece of family tradition. Andaal’s Lemon Pickle is prepared in small batches, ensuring every jar receives personal attention, perfect fermentation, and the natural maturation that enhances taste and texture.

  Packed with Vitamin C and free from artificial preservatives, this pickle is not only delicious but also beneficial for digestion and immunity.

  With every bite, you’ll taste the love, patience, and heritage of Telugu kitchens — something that only Andaal Home Foods can bring to your plate.
