Made from fresh gongura (sorrel) leaves slow-cooked with mustard seeds, red chilli, fenugreek, garlic, and cold-pressed peanut oil. It is known as the Andhra Matha - the most beloved pickle in Telugu cuisine - for its bold, tangy, earthy flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 14px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eWhat does Gongura taste like?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #555; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eGongura has a unique natural sourness - sharper than tamarind and more earthy than lemon. Combined with Guntur chilli heat, mustard crunch, and deep garlic notes, it is bold, tangy, and completely unlike any other pickle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 14px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eDoes it contain vinegar or artificial preservatives?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #555; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eNo vinegar and no artificial preservatives. The natural sourness comes entirely from the sorrel leaves themselves. We use cold-pressed peanut oil and traditional methods to preserve it naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 14px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eHow long does it last once opened?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #555; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eUp to 6 months when stored in a cool, dry place with a dry spoon.

It also pairs beautifully with curd rice, dosa, idli, chapati, and paratha. For something different, stir a spoon into dal for an instant tangy kick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 14px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eWhat are the health benefits of Gongura?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #555; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eSorrel leaves are rich in iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and antioxidants.
