· 200g
Pirandai Thokku is a slow-cooked Tamil relish made from pirandai (Veldt grape, Cissus quadrangularis) — a succulent climber used in Siddha medicine and traditional Tamil cooking for its mineral-dense, bone-supportive properties. Pirandai is astringent raw and requires careful preparation: Mrs. Esakkiammal cleans, chops and cooks the stems down with sesame oil, tamarind, red chillies and salt until the mixture reduces into a thick, tart, deeply flavoured thokku. The finished relish is dark reddish-brown, slightly sticky and intensely flavoured — a small spoonful eaten with plain rice or curd rice is a complete meal accompaniment. The 100g jar is a 2–3 week supply. No preservatives, artificial flavours or colours. Pirandai thokku is a traditional Tamil medicinal-food preparation and a consistently popular purchase for customers familiar with its traditional uses. Refrigerate after opening.
