Dry Fish Pickle (Methalu)

Dry Fish Pickle – Homemade Methalu Pachadi

Strong, spicy, and deeply nostalgic – a taste passed down through generations.

At My Home Delight, our Dry Fish Pickle (Methalu Pachadi) is made using carefully cleaned, sun-dried fish, marinated in bold South Indian-style spices and cooked slowly in cold-pressed groundnut oil. Every bite offers a deep umami kick, rich flavor, and the satisfying crunch that dry fish lovers cherish.

Prepared in small, lovingly crafted batches, this pickle carries the essence of home – reminding you of traditional kitchens, clay jars on sunny verandas, and the unforgettable aroma of slow-roasted spices. Best enjoyed with hot rice and raw onions, it's comfort food in its most rustic, honest form.
