Product Description
Ambada Pickle is a flavorful, homemade-style Indian pickle crafted from fresh, handpicked tender hog plums (known locally as Ambade, Amtekayi, or Ambada). These small, sour green fruits are expertly spiced with red chili, turmeric, mustard, fenugreek, and other traditional masalas, preserved in oil or brine to deliver a perfect balance of sour, spicy, tangy, and slightly salty notes. A staple in coastal Karnataka (Udupi/Mangalore), Goa, and Konkani cuisine, this pickle adds a zesty kick to everyday meals like curd rice, dal-rice, idli-dosa, khichdi, or parathas. It’s naturally rich in vitamin C and antioxidants from the fruit, with no artificial preservatives in authentic versions—pure, seasonal, and bursting with regional flavor.
