usirikaya pachadi (seedless)
Usirikaya Pachadi (Seedless Pickle) – Description
Usirikaya Pachadi Seedless Pickle is a traditional Andhra-style gooseberry (amla) pickle made by carefully removing the hard seeds and using only the soft, fleshy segments of fresh usirikaya. This makes the pickle easy to eat, smooth in texture, and more flavorful, without the bitterness that sometimes comes from the seed.
The gooseberry pieces are gently steamed or sun-wilted and mixed with stone-ground red chilli powder, mustard powder, fenugreek, garlic, and pure gingelly (sesame) oil. Salt and natural spices enhance the tangy, spicy, and slightly bitter notes that are characteristic of authentic usirikaya pachadi. The seedless preparation allows the masala to coat each piece evenly, giving a rich taste in every bite.
This pickle pairs perfectly with hot steamed rice, ghee, curd rice, dosa, or idli. Apart from its bold flavor, usirikaya is well known for its high vitamin C content and digestive benefits, making this pickle both tasty and nutritious.
