We select the "Chitti" (tiny) variety, which is naturally less bitter and more tender than large hybrids. These small gourds are fried whole without slicing, preserving their structure. When mixed into the podi, they offer a crunchy, bite-sized experience.
This proprietary blend achieves the perfect balance of heat and hue. We combine Guntur Sannam (S4), renowned globally for its fiery spice levels, with Warangal Chappatta (Tomato Chilli), chosen specifically for its deep, vibrant red color and low pungency. The result is a pickle that looks visually stunning and packs the perfect punch.

The "Badami" variety is chosen for its spherical shape and citrusy, floral aroma. It acts as a harmonizer in spice blends, bridging the gap between the heat of chillies and the earthiness of dals.
We use the trusted Gold Drop brand for its exceptional lightness and neutral flavor profile. Its high smoke point allows us to deep-fry the bitter gourd and okra to a perfect crisp without leaving a heavy, oily aftertaste or interfering with the spices.
We source the indigenous "Desi" variety from farms surrounding Hyderabad. Unlike the large, mild hybrid cloves, these small local cloves are exploding with pungency. Sourcing them fresh from nearby farms ensures maximum potency, allowing the sharp garlic flavor to survive the roasting process and give our podis a robust savory kick.
