🥒 What Makes South Indian Pickles Unique?
South Indian pickles, often referred to as “ooragaya” in Telugu and “uppilittathu” in Malayalam, are famous for their intense flavors, high spice levels, and use of native ingredients. Unlike North Indian pickles, which may use mustard oil, South Indian pickles are usually made using sesame oil or groundnut oil, enhancing the flavor and shelf life.
Popular ingredients include:
Mango (Avakaya)
Gongura (Roselle leaves)
Lemon
Tamarind
Garlic
Green chilies
Red chili powder from Guntur
