Ginger Pickle – Homemade Allam Pachadi (Inji Thokku)

Ingredients:- Ginger, Dry Chillis, Tamarind Paste, Turmeric Powder, Jaggery, Salt

Allam Pachadi is a popular Andhra-style ginger pickle made with fresh ginger root, ground spices, tamarind, and jaggery, and is most commonly eaten during winters or monsoon with rice, idli, dosa, pesarattu, and ghee. In Telugu, Allam (అల్లం) means ginger, and Pachadi means pickle or chutney, making Allam Pachadi one of the most identifiable and iconic pickle names in all of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Known as Inji Thokku or Inji Pickle in Tamil and Ginger Achar in Hindi, this is a South Indian condiment that crosses regional boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in Telugu culinary tradition.

Ginger pickle has been a traditional favourite in Andhra Pradesh for generations, especially loved as a spicy and tangy side dish for classic South Indian breakfasts like idli and dosa, with families passing down their own variations while the essence remains the same: a simple, homemade pickle that adds a burst of flavour to every meal. At GSR Foods, our Ginger Pickle is crafted with fresh Ginger (Allam), Dry Chillies, Tamarind Paste (Chinthapandu), Turmeric Powder (Pasupu), natural Jaggery (Bellam), and Salt, striking the perfect sweet, sour, and spicy balance that defines an authentic Andhra Allam Pachadi. Ginger helps in relieving several health conditions and the phenolic compounds in ginger aid in detoxifying the body, making every jar of our homemade Ginger Pickle a genuinely nourishing condiment. Made in small batches with absolutely no artificial preservatives, our Allam Pachadi delivers the real, warming taste of Telugu tradition straight to your table across India.
