Gongura Prawns Pickle
Sweet prawns set against the sharp tang of fresh sorrel leaves. 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 Prawns Pickle
Gongura Prawns Pickle is a coastal-meets-countryside marvel — sweet prawns set against the sharp, lemon-y tang of fresh sorrel leaves, all bound by hand-pounded spice and cold-pressed sesame oil. Made in Tanuku by our 4-generation family, our Gongura Prawns Pickle is bright, briny and deeply Andhra — a jar that captures two flavour worlds in a single spoon.
What makes our Gongura Prawns Pickle different
Prawns sweeten as they cook; gongura sours as it reduces — get the balance wrong and you lose both. We slow-reduce sorrel into a glossy tangy base, then fold in plump prawns simmered gently in cold-pressed gingelly oil with hand-pounded Andhra chilli, garlic and ginger. The Gongura Prawns Pickle is layered so the sorrel sings on top and the prawn sweetness anchors below.
Flavour profile & experience
The first bite is bright lemon-y gongura; the second is sweet, briny prawn; the third is a slow, garlicky Andhra chilli warmth that ties the two together. Mustard tempering adds a clean pungency, curry leaves bring fragrance, and the sesame oil finishes long and nutty. The Gongura Prawns Pickle is one of the most surprising jars in our range.
How to enjoy Gongura Prawns Pickle
Spoon Gongura Prawns Pickle over hot rice with a teaspoon of ghee — sweet, sour and spicy in one bite. Pair with curd rice to soften the tang, fold into prawn biryani for double depth, or eat with dosa, idli and hot phulkas. A small jar disappears faster than you'd expect.
