kanthari mulaku achar 100gm =100rs  Pavaykka pickle is a traditional South Indian pickle made from bitter gourd (pavaykka). It has a bold, spicy, tangy, and slightly bitter taste, which makes it unique and flavorful. The bitterness of the pavaykka is balanced by tamarind, chili powder, and aromatic spices.

Fresh bitter gourd pieces are usually sun-dried or lightly fried to reduce excess bitterness, then mixed with red chili powder, mustard seeds, fenugreek, garlic, salt, and gingelly (sesame) oil. Tamarind or vinegar is added for tanginess and longer shelf life.

This pickle is commonly served with rice, curd rice, dosa, idli, or kanji (porridge). Apart from its taste, pavaykka pickle is valued for its health benefits, as bitter gourd is known to help with digestion and blood sugar control.
