Vellanki Foods - Scarlet Gourd Pickle / Dondakaya Pickle

Scarlet gourd pickle, also known as lauki ka achaar, is a flavorful specialty from Andhra Pradesh, crafted as a contemporary take on okra bhindi achaar. Made with fresh scarlet gourd pieces combined with ginger, green chillies, mustard seeds, turmeric, red chilli powder, salt, and mustard oil, this pickle balances cooling and warming elements. Prepared traditionally, it complements Indian meals like roti, dosa, and rice. Available in 250g to 2kg packs, it is 100% vegetarian and has a shelf life of two months. For best preservation, store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place and use a clean spoon to serve.
