The Manduva Project proudly introduces a new addition to our authentic pickle collection – Bittergourd Pickle. Embracing the bold, tangy, and slightly bitter essence of fresh bitter gourd, this pickle is a fusion of traditional flavors with a modern twist, crafted to delight taste buds across both North and South India.
Our Bittergourd Pickle isn’t just a condiment – it’s a flavorful experience packed with health benefits, making it a unique choice for the selective palate.
A Unique Pickle That Stands Out
Bittergourd (or karela) is widely recognized for its health benefits, from being rich in antioxidants to supporting digestion and blood sugar levels.
With The Manduva Project’s Bittergourd Pickle, we wanted to celebrate this superfood by creating a unique pickle that showcases the vegetable's depth of flavor while balancing its natural bitterness.
The result is a delicious blend of tanginess, a hint of sweetness, and a touch of spice, all while preserving the crunchiness of the bitter gourd pieces.
Ingredients That Elevate the Flavour
Our Bittergourd Pickle brings together a carefully curated list of ingredients that complement and enhance the bold character of bitter gourd:
- Fresh Bittergourd – Handpicked and sliced, delivering a satisfying crunch and the authentic bitter notes that set this pickle apart.
- Tamarind – Adds a tangy zest that cuts through the bitterness, creating a balanced flavor profile.
- Red Chilli – Infuses a spicy kick that elevates the taste, giving the pickle a satisfying heat.
- Jaggery – A natural sweetener that softens the bitterness, adding depth and a hint of sweetness to every bite.
- Garlic – Enhances the aroma and introduces a warm, earthy undertone.
- Fenugreek – Adds a slight bitterness of its own, pairing beautifully with the gourd for a layered taste.
- Mustard and Cumin – Traditional spices that bring out the authentic South Indian essence, grounding the flavor with a hint of earthiness.
- Asafoetida – Known for its digestive properties, it adds a unique aromatic punch to the mix.
- Peanut Oil – Used as the base, this oil preserves the flavors and maintains the texture of the pickle over time.
