Ash Gourd Pickle

Description

Ash Gourd Pickle might not be the most common pickle at the table, but once you taste it, you’ll wonder why it took so long to try it. At Ammamma’s Pickles, we’ve taken this humble, cooling vegetable and turned it into something truly flavorful—with a touch of tradition and a whole lot of care.

We start with freshly harvested ash gourds—light, juicy, and full of natural goodness. After peeling and slicing them into small pieces, we gently sun-dry them just enough to reduce moisture, giving the gourd a tender bite while preserving its delicate sweetness. Then comes the magic: a hand-ground mix of red chilli powder, turmeric, roasted mustard, garlic, and cold-pressed groundnut oil. This spicy tempering seeps deep into the ash gourd pieces, transforming them into a tangy-spicy delicacy with a subtle, juicy crunch.

What makes this pickle unique is how it balances heat with softness—something that’s only possible when made in small batches, just like our Ammammas did. We don’t use preservatives, synthetic vinegar, or color additives—only natural ingredients and traditional slow-pickle techniques.

Whether you pair it with steaming hot rice and ghee, dosa, curd rice, or even pongal, this pickle fits right into daily meals while offering something a little different.

Each jar is made only after you order, ensuring you receive it at peak freshness. For those who enjoy lesser-known, regional flavors that still carry the warmth of tradition, Ash Gourd Pickle is a must-try.
