Bitter Gourd

Description

Bitter Gourd Pickle—or as we call it in Telugu, Kakarakaya Pachadi—is that one surprising member of the pickle family that wins you over with every bite. At Ammamma’s Pickles, we’ve taken this humble vegetable and turned it into something irresistibly flavorful, just like how our grandmothers did back in the day.

We start with fresh, firm bitter gourds sourced locally, finely chopped and lightly fried to reduce the bitterness while retaining its natural crunch. These are then mixed into a robust spice blend of hand-pounded red chilli powder, turmeric, roasted mustard seeds, garlic, and a generous drizzle of cold-pressed groundnut oil.

But the real secret lies in the balance—a gentle bitterness, a hint of heat, and that nostalgic homemade taste that reminds you of summer afternoons in your Ammamma’s kitchen. No synthetic preservatives, no artificial flavoring—just old-school Andhra magic made in small, hygienic batches.

Made only after you place an order, our Kakarakaya Pachadi is packed fresh and full of character. It pairs beautifully with hot rice and ghee, dosa, curd rice, or even chapatis. And if you’re someone who appreciates strong, bold flavors—this one will win you over.

Because in Andhra homes, even the bitter things are made with love.
