Pachadi Karam (Andhra Pickle Spice Mix)
Pachadi Karam is a spicy, aromatic masala powder used in making Andhra-style pickles (Pachadi) like mango, gongura, tomato, or lemon pickles. It’s a coarse, fiery blend made from red chilies, fenugreek, mustard seeds, and salt — the heart of many Telugu pickles that gives them their signature taste, color, and shelf life.
