What it is

Adyar Ananda Bhavan was founded by K.S. Thirupathi Raja, who started out making sweets in Rajapalayam, Tamil Nadu. The brand takes its name from its outlet in Adyar, Chennai, and now has branches in the USA, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Canada and the UK.

Poondu oorugai is garlic cooked into a hot, oily pickle. The cloves soften in the jar and pick up the chilli, so a single clove carries a whole plate of curd rice. Choosing between A2B pickles? Garlic for punchy, mango for the classic sour, and Andhra avakai when you want real heat.

Tip: Mash a clove and a little of the oil into hot rice before the curd goes in.

Goes well with: Udhaiyam Ponni Raw Rice, A2B Mango Pickle, Udhaiyam Appalam
