About Tomato Pickle
Flavour
The signature sour-tart bite of sun-ripened gongura leaves, cut with the heat of dried red chillies and a deep garlicky undertone.
Texture
A coarse, almost jammy pulp — leaves pounded down slowly on a stone grinder until they hold together in rustic, oil-glossed spoonfuls.
Aroma
Grassy and tart at first whiff, deepening into roasted chilli and garlic as the jar opens.
Traditional Preparation
Fresh gongura leaves are washed, wilted, and hand-pounded with stone-ground spices, then slow-cooked in gingelly oil until the tang concentrates into a deep maroon pickle.
Best Enjoyed
A spoonful transforms plain rice into a full meal — equally at home with curd rice, hot chapatis, or a crisp dosa.

Customer Reviews
The Tomato Pickle here is unreal — real gongura tang, not the oily, overly sweet version most brands sell.
Grew up on gongura in Vijayawada and this Tomato Pickle is the closest I've found to home.
One spoon of Tomato Pickle and plain rice becomes a feast. Ordering a second jar already.
Tangy, garlicky, exactly how Tomato Pickle should taste. No shortcuts here.
