Priya Gongura Pickle 300g (Without Garlic)

Priya Gongura Pickle – The Iconic Andhra Roselle Leaf Pickle

Priya Gongura Pickle 300g (Without Garlic) is one of the most celebrated regional pickles in Indian cuisine — a bold, tangy, and intensely flavoured condiment made from gongura (roselle leaves), a leafy plant native to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Known as the ‘pride of Andhra’, gongura is prized for its distinctive sour, slightly astringent flavour that forms the backbone of this iconic pickle. Prepared without garlic, Priya Gongura Pickle is suitable for those following a no-garlic diet for religious, Jain, or personal reasons, without compromising on any of the bold, authentic flavour this pickle is famous for.

Priya Foods has been crafting authentic South Indian pickles since 1985, using traditional recipes and high-quality ingredients sourced from the finest growing regions of Andhra Pradesh. Priya Gongura Pickle 300g (Without Garlic) is a faithful recreation of the homemade gongura pickle that has been a staple on Andhra dining tables for generations — now available at DesiBasket for delivery across Germany and Europe.

• Turmeric (Haldi) – Adds colour, mild earthiness, and natural preservative properties.
• Asafoetida (Hing) – Adds a savoury, umami depth in place of garlic.

Country of Origin

This product is manufactured in India by Priya Foods Pvt. Ltd., based in Hyderabad, Telangana. Gongura (roselle) is grown extensively across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where it holds a special place in the local culinary identity — so much so that Andhra Pradesh is often called the ‘Land of Gongura’. Priya Foods sources its gongura from these regions to ensure the most authentic flavour in every jar.

How to Use

With Steamed Rice

The most traditional way to enjoy Priya Gongura Pickle 300g (Without Garlic) — mix a generous spoonful into hot steamed rice with a drizzle of ghee or sesame oil. The tangy, spicy pickle transforms plain rice into a deeply satisfying meal. A staple combination in Andhra households.

With Curd Rice

Serve alongside curd rice (thayir sadam) for a classic South Indian pairing. The sharp sourness of the gongura pickle provides a perfect contrast to the cooling, creamy yoghurt rice.

With Dal and Rice

Add a small portion to your dal-rice combination for an extra layer of tangy, spiced complexity. Particularly good with plain toor dal or sambar rice.

With Indian Breads

Use as a bold side condiment with rotis, parathas, or puris. Spread a small amount on the bread or serve as a dipping accompaniment for a quick, intensely flavoured meal.

As a Cooking Ingredient

Use a spoonful as a flavour base when making gongura chicken, gongura mutton, or gongura paneer — it adds instant depth and authentic Andhra character to any dish.

Storage Tips

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate and always use a clean, dry spoon to serve. Avoid introducing moisture into the jar to preserve freshness and extend shelf life. Best consumed before the date indicated on the packaging.
