Crab Pickle
Sweet crab meat slow-cooked in spice oil — a coastal indulgence. Sun-cured the old-fashioned way, slow-tempered in cold-pressed sesame oil, and bottled by hand in our village kitchen. Best enjoyed with hot rice and a generous spoon of ghee.
Authentic Crab Pickle
Crab Pickle is a coastal Andhra indulgence — sweet, tender crab meat slow-cooked in a deep, garlicky spice oil until every shred soaks up the masala. Made in Tanuku by our 4-generation family using hand-pounded spices and cold-pressed sesame oil, this Crab Pickle is rich, briny and unapologetically luxurious — a celebration jar from the Andhra coast.
What makes our Crab Pickle different
Crab is delicate, so every batch of our Crab Pickle is cooked slowly and gently — never rushed. The masala is hand-pounded on a stone grinder, then bloomed in cold-pressed gingelly oil with garlic, ginger and Andhra chilli. We layer in tamarind for sharpness and finish with mustard tempering, so each spoon delivers a crisp, briny sweetness wrapped in spice.
Flavour profile & experience
Sweet crab meets a deep, garlicky chilli heat that builds slowly rather than burning. Tamarind brings a clean tang, mustard adds pungency and the cold-pressed sesame oil ties everything together with a nutty finish. The Crab Pickle has the unmistakable depth of coastal cooking — the kind of jar you ration carefully.
How to enjoy Crab Pickle
Spoon Crab Pickle generously over hot steamed rice with a knob of ghee — this is its true home. It also pairs beautifully with curd rice, lifts a plain biryani into something memorable, or works as a punchy side with dosa and idli. A little goes a long way.
