Garlic Pickle – Homemade Spicy Vellulli Pachadi (Avakaya)

Ingredients:- Garlic, Chinthapandu, Chilli Powder, Oil, Ground Nuts

Velluli Avakaya, as Garlic Pickle is called in Telugu, is an absolute delight enjoyed with dal rice, curd rice, or even dosa, and is a great way to include garlic in your diet with a long shelf life of several months. Known across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana as Vellulli Pachadi (వెల్లుళ్ళి పచ్చడి) or Vellulli Avakaya, this beloved pickle is also called Lashun Ka Achar in Hindi, Poondu Pickle in Tamil, and Garlic Ooragaya in the broader Telugu pickling tradition, making it a deeply recognised condiment across South India and the entire country.

Garlic pickle is savoured all over India, though it is famous for its authenticity in Andhra, and is one of the zestiest pickles known for its bold, pungent character that sets it apart from all other Indian pickle varieties. At GSR Foods, our Garlic Pickle is prepared with whole Garlic cloves (Vellulli), natural Tamarind (Chinthapandu), bold Chilli Powder, Groundnut Oil, and Peanuts (Pallilu), all combined in a classic homemade Andhra style with absolutely no artificial preservatives. In many food cultures, garlic is valued for its warming qualities and is often included in home remedies, especially for digestion and immunity, making every jar of our Vellulli Nilava Pachadi a condiment that is as wholesome as it is bold. Whether mixed with hot rice and ghee, paired alongside mudda pappu, or served as a fiery side to idli and dosa, our Garlic Pickle delivers authentic Telugu flavour straight to your table across South India and beyond.
