Authentic Usirikaya Pickle—Tangy, Nutritious & Bold

Gooseberry pickle isn’t just another condiment. It’s a nutritional powerhouse packed into one amazing jar. When you taste our usirikaya pickle? You’re getting authentic Andhra pickles the traditional way.

Sun-Ripened Fresh Gooseberries

Our journey starts with selecting perfectly ripe usirikaya (Indian gooseberries). These emerald gems burst with natural tartness and contain more Vitamin C than most citrus fruits. Each berry gets carefully inspected before making it into our home pickle recipe.

Hand-Roasted Traditional Spices

Here’s where authentic Andhra pickles get their distinctive character. Mustard seeds, fenugreek, and red chilli powder go onto traditional griddles. We hand-roast each spice until fragrant aromas fill the air. This step releases essential oils that pre-ground spices simply cannot match.

Then comes the magic. Fresh garlic, turmeric, and these roasted spices blend together with our sun-ripened gooseberries. The combination creates layers of tangy, spicy, earthy flavours working in perfect harmony.

Pure Sunflower Oil for Natural Preservation

Traditional Andhra pickles rely on quality oil for preservation. We use pure sunflower oil—gently heated, then cooled—to preserve your home pickle naturally. No artificial preservatives. No chemical additives. Just time-tested methods that work.
