Gongura Chicken Pickle
Boneless chicken folded into tart gongura masala. 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 Gongura Chicken Pickle
Gongura Chicken Pickle marries two Andhra icons — tart gongura (sorrel) leaves and tender boneless chicken — into one bright, savoury jar. Made in Tanuku by our 4-generation family using hand-pounded spices and cold-pressed sesame oil, our Gongura Chicken Pickle balances lemony sorrel tang with deep chilli heat — a fresh, modern take on a generations-old Andhra tradition.
What makes our Gongura Chicken Pickle different
Gongura is the star, not the garnish. We cook fresh sorrel leaves slowly until they collapse into a glossy, deeply sour base, then fold in boneless chicken that has been hand-cleaned and gently simmered. Hand-pounded Andhra chilli and garlic are bloomed in cold-pressed gingelly oil, then layered into the Gongura Chicken Pickle so the sorrel leads and the spice follows in a steady, supportive heat.
Flavour profile & experience
Expect a bright, lemon-y sorrel tang that opens every bite, a deep Andhra chilli warmth that builds beneath, and tender boneless chicken carrying both. Garlic and curry leaves add savoury anchor, while sesame oil rounds the finish with nutty richness. The Gongura Chicken Pickle is tangier than regular chicken pickle — sharper, fresher and remarkably moreish.
How to enjoy Gongura Chicken Pickle
Spoon Gongura Chicken Pickle over hot rice with a teaspoon of ghee — the gongura tang against rice is unbeatable. Pair with curd rice to soften the sourness, fold into biryani for a tangy twist, or roll into phulkas for a quick, punchy lunch. Travels well and deepens over the first few days.
