About our homemade Andhra Usiri Pickle (Usirikaya Pachadi)
How it tastes
Sharp, sour and pleasantly astringent at first, then spicy, with a slightly bitter edge that amla lovers look for. The gooseberries soften in the masala and the flavour deepens as the jar sits.
How we make it
Fresh amla are washed, dried completely and softened, then coated in red chilli powder, salt, turmeric and a roasted mustard-fenugreek powder. A tempering of dried chilli, curry leaves and cumin in groundnut oil goes over the top. We make each batch after your order, so the jar you receive is freshly prepared.
