Veluthulli Achar is a classic Kerala condiment that celebrates the intense flavor of garlic. The preparation typically begins by peeling a large quantity of garlic cloves, which are then either kept whole or sliced depending on personal preference. To remove the raw, sharp pungency and ensure a softer texture, the cloves are often briefly sautéed or steamed before being added to the pickling base.
