Red Chilli Pickle/ Pandu Mirchi Pickle

Andhra Spicy Red Chilli Pickle (Pandu Mirchi Pachadi)

Andhra Spicy Red Chilli Pickle, locally known as Pandu Mirchi Pachadi, is a fiery and aromatic condiment that embodies the bold flavors of Andhra Pradesh. Made from fresh, plump red chilies, this pickle is a spicy delight, tempered with the nutty richness of sesame oil and the earthy warmth of mustard seeds and fenugreek.

The chilies are blended with tangy tamarind, garlic, and a hint of asafoetida to create a perfect balance of heat and flavor. Red chili powder amplifies the spice level, making it a treat for those who love bold and intense flavors.

This pickle pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and ghee, dosas, idlis, or even plain curd rice, transforming any simple meal into a flavorful feast. Its long shelf life and authentic taste make it a staple in every Andhra kitchen, perfect for those who crave a burst of spice in every bite.
