What it is

Adyar Ananda Bhavan was founded by K.S. Thirupathi Raja, who began by making sweets in Rajapalayam, Tamil Nadu. The name comes from its outlet in Adyar, Chennai, and A2B now has branches in the USA, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Canada and beyond.

Nellikai urugai is amla, the Indian gooseberry, pickled with chilli and spices the Tamil way until the pieces turn soft and dark. Sour first, then hot, with the slight bitterness amla always has. Choosing between A2B pickles? Amla for sharp and sour; mango for the familiar everyday one; garlic if poondu is your favourite.

Tip: Mash one piece into a bowl of curd rice with a little of its oil. It seasons the whole bowl.

Goes well with: Sri Annam Thanjavur Ponni Raw Rice, A2B Kara Boondi, SMS Maracheeni Appalam
