Fish Pickle
Firm fish chunks cured in chilli and tamarind — bright and savoury. 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 Fish Pickle
Fish Pickle is the bright, savoury staple of Andhra coastal kitchens — firm fish chunks cured slowly in chilli, tamarind and cold-pressed sesame oil until every piece holds the masala like a memory. Made in Tanuku by our 4-generation family, our Fish Pickle balances tang and heat with the unmistakable depth of slow-cooked spice — the kind of jar that travels home with everyone.
What makes our Fish Pickle different
We choose firm-fleshed fish that holds its shape through slow cooking, then cure it in hand-pounded Andhra masala bloomed in cold-pressed gingelly oil. Tamarind is added in two layers — once for sourness, once for shine — and the whole pickle is hand-bottled while still warm. No machinery, no acetic acid, no compromises on the Fish Pickle that reaches your kitchen.
Flavour profile & experience
Expect a bright tamarind tang that opens the bite, a steady Andhra chilli heat through the middle, and the savoury richness of fish carried by nutty sesame oil. Mustard tempering adds a pungent lift, fenugreek a faint bitter depth. Each spoon of the Fish Pickle is layered and clean — never muddy, never one-note.
How to enjoy Fish Pickle
Spoon Fish Pickle over hot rice with a teaspoon of ghee — the simplest, finest pairing. It also lifts curd rice, makes biryani sing, and works wonderfully tucked into a dosa fold. Carry it on travels; it only gets better as the oil settles into the masala over the first few days.
