Gongura Pickle

🌿 Gongura Pickle – The Bold Heart of Andhra Cuisine

Gongura — the name alone awakens taste buds across Telugu-speaking households. Tangy, spicy, and deeply satisfying, Gongura Pickle is one of the most beloved condiments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. At Yaami Sri Pickles, our version stays true to heritage, handcrafted in small batches with love, care, and the wisdom of generations.

Made using fresh red sorrel leaves, sun-dried and slow-cooked with traditional masalas, this pickle is the soul of South Indian spice.

💚 What Makes Gongura So Special?

The key to this magic is Gongura (Red Sorrel) — a naturally tangy green leafy plant that flourishes in the fertile soils of Andhra. Unlike store-bought pickles filled with vinegar or citric acid, our pickle gets its rich sourness directly from this incredible leaf.

We enhance the flavor using:

• 🌿 Gongura leaves handpicked at peak freshness

• 🧄 Garlic cloves for deep aroma

• 🌶️ Guntur red chillies for authentic heat

• 🛢️ High-quality edible oil

• 🧂 Rock salt and home-ground spices

Each spoonful delivers a punch — spicy, sour, and utterly addictive.

👩‍🍳 A Legacy Passed from Ammamma to Sahithi

Sahithi, the heart behind Yaami Sri Pickles, grew up watching her grandmother and later her mother-in-law Sridevi prepare Gongura pachadi with unmatched precision. These women didn’t just make food — they told stories through their flavors.

“Sundays were incomplete without hot rice, ghee, and Gongura,” Sahithi recalls. “My mother-in-law taught me how the right timing, the slow simmering of leaves, and the balance of spice matter more than anything else.”

Every batch made today still follows their time-tested recipe.
