Buy Worth2Deal Kerala Veluthulli Kanthari Mulaku Achar Online — Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle, No Preservatives
Share :
Worth2Deal Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle is a Kerala Kanthari Mulaku Achar that brings together two of the most powerful flavour and wellness ingredients in South Indian cooking — whole garlic cloves and birds eye chilli (Kanthari Mulaku). Made in Malappuram using traditional methods, with no artificial preservatives, no synthetic colour, and no Class II additives. Delivered free across India.
What Is Kanthari Mulaku — Kerala's Fiercest and Most Medicinal Chilli
Kanthari Mulaku is the Malayalam name for birds eye chilli, known botanically as Capsicum frutescens L. It is one of the world's ten hottest chilli varieties and is deeply embedded in Kerala's culinary and Ayurvedic traditions. The name Kanthari comes from its distinctive small, upright shape and intense white-to-red colour.
Unlike large commercial chilli varieties, Kanthari Mulaku grows small, dense, and intensely potent. It is used in traditional Kerala cooking not just for heat, but for its medicinal properties — Ayurvedic practitioners in Kerala have traditionally recommended it for cholesterol management, digestion support, and metabolism improvement, as documented in traditional texts and confirmed by modern research.
NatureLoc, one of India's leading Kerala food platforms, describes Kanthari Mulaku as one of the world's ten hottest chilli peppers, widely recognised for its weight loss properties and its role in improving the body's metabolism. The species Capsicum frutescens is found mainly in Kerala, Southeast Asia, and parts of Northeast India.
The Science Behind Kanthari Mulaku — Capsaicin Research 2022–2024
The primary bioactive compound in birds eye chilli is capsaicin. The evidence for capsaicin's health effects is extensive and well-documented in peer-reviewed research.
A large epidemiological study referenced in the PMC review on dietary capsaicin (Biomolecules, December 2022, doi: 10.3390/biom12121783) tracked 16,179 Americans for six years through the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey and found that mortality among regular chilli consumers was 21.6% compared to 33.6% among non-consumers — a significant difference. The prevalence of hypertension among chilli-eaters was 19.9% compared to 27.1% in non-consumers.
A randomised cross-over study published in PubMed (British Journal of Nutrition, 2015, doi: 10.1017/S0007114516000155) specifically studied African birds eye chilli in a commercially available meal. The study found that a meal containing 5.82 mg of capsaicinoids from birds eye chilli resulted in significantly lower postprandial insulin concentrations in overweight individuals compared to the same meal without chilli.
A PMC review on anti-obesity effects of capsaicin (2022) confirmed that meta-analysis of clinical studies found capsaicin increases energy expenditure by approximately 70 kcal per day in people with BMI above 25, while reducing calorie intake through altered food preference and appetite suppression.

The Garlic in This Pickle — A Dual Bioactive Combination
This pickle is not just birds eye chilli. It combines Kanthari Mulaku with whole garlic cloves — creating a dual bioactive condiment where both primary ingredients carry documented health significance.
Garlic contains allicin, its primary sulphur compound. A comprehensive review published in Frontiers in Immunology (June 2024, doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1277074) confirmed that allicin exhibits cardiovascular protective, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties. Allicin is stable in acidic environments (Fujisawa et al., 2008) — meaning the acidic pickle preparation of this product helps maintain allicin metabolites better than raw garlic alone.
A notable biochemical interaction is documented in the Frontiers in Immunology 2024 review: the vasodilatory effects of allicin from garlic are produced through allyl isothiocyanate neurons — the same neural pathways stimulated by capsaicin from chilli peppers. The two compounds work through complementary mechanisms in the cardiovascular system.

Why This Garlic Chilli Pickle Is Different From Any Other You Can Buy Online
Most commercial garlic chilli pickles available on Amazon, Flipkart, and supermarkets use three shortcuts that Worth2Deal does not:
First — they use dried red chilli powder instead of whole Kanthari Mulaku. Dried red chilli powder lacks the distinct fruity-fiery flavour profile of genuine birds eye chilli and has significantly lower capsaicin density per gram.
Second — they use Class II chemical preservatives (sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate) to extend shelf life for industrial distribution. Worth2Deal uses no Class II preservatives. Preservation comes from the natural antimicrobial properties of garlic allicin, capsaicin in the chilli, oil coating, and salt.
Third — they use artificial food colour to achieve the bright red appearance. Worth2Deal uses no artificial colour. The colour of this pickle comes entirely from the Kanthari Mulaku and spice blend.
The KeralMa Amazon listing — one of the strongest competing products for birds eye chilli pickle — receives reviews specifically praising the authentic spiciness and clean ingredient profile. Verified Amazon buyer reviews state: "the right amount of vinegar and salt and spice" and "If you want to have a taste of home, this is it." Worth2Deal delivers the same authentic standard from Malappuram.
What Makes the Kanthari-Garlic Combination Specifically Powerful
Traditional Kerala cooking has long paired garlic and birds eye chilli not just for flavour, but for the complementary properties recognised in Ayurvedic practice. The Kitchen Express recipe blog documents a traditional Kerala Vella Kanthari Achar (white birds eye chilli with garlic) that includes a full head of garlic alongside the chilli — confirming that garlic-kanthari combination is a deeply rooted Kerala tradition, not a modern invention.
In this pickle, the garlic absorbs the heat and aroma of the Kanthari Mulaku during the preparation and resting process. Over the first few days after opening, the flavours deepen and integrate — a process described by simple Indian recipes as the chilli getting "well soaked" and the spiciness mellowing to a complex, layered heat rather than raw burn.
When and How to Use Worth2Deal Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle
With rice and kanji: This is the most traditional Kerala pairing. Kanthari pickle alongside Kerala red rice kanji (rice porridge) is one of the most classic South Indian breakfast and dinner combinations. The heat of the chilli cuts through the starchy mildness of kanji perfectly.
With rice and sambar: One or two pieces of garlic chilli pickle alongside hot rice, sambar, and thoran completes the Kerala lunch plate.
With kappa (tapioca): Boiled tapioca with spicy pickle is a quintessential Malabar and central Kerala comfort meal. Garlic chilli achar is one of the preferred accompaniments.
With chapati and paratha: For North Indian buyers, this is a departure from the standard garlic pickle — the addition of Kanthari Mulaku creates a significantly more complex and fiery experience than plain garlic achar.
With curd rice: The creamy cooling effect of curd balances the intense heat of the chilli-garlic pickle — a popular South Indian summer combination.
For gifting: A jar of authentic Kerala Kanthari Mulaku Garlic Pickle makes a distinctive food gift for spice lovers, Kerala diaspora in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Pune, and anyone seeking regional condiments unavailable in standard supermarkets.
Storage Instructions
Always use a clean, dry spoon. Moisture is the primary cause of early spoilage in oil-based pickles.
Store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight before opening. Refrigerate after opening and consume within 30 to 45 days using a dry spoon at every use.
Do not store in iron or aluminium containers — the acidic pickle base reacts with these metals. Glass or food-grade plastic is correct.
Shelf life: 3 months from date of manufacture unopened when stored in a cool dry place.

FAQ-Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle
Q1: What is Worth2Deal Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle?
Worth2Deal Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle is an authentic Kerala Kanthari Mulaku Achar — a traditional condiment made by combining whole garlic cloves with birds eye chilli (Kanthari Mulaku) in a spice blend of mustard seeds, fenugreek, and asafoetida. Kanthari Mulaku (Capsicum frutescens L.) is one of the world's ten hottest chilli varieties, native to Kerala and widely used in traditional Kerala cuisine and Ayurvedic practice. Worth2Deal prepares this pickle in Malappuram, Kerala with no artificial preservatives, no synthetic colour, and no Class II additives. FSSAI Lic. No.: 21317233000044.
Q2: What is Kanthari Mulaku and why is it used in this pickle?
Kanthari Mulaku is the Malayalam name for birds eye chilli (Capsicum frutescens L.), a small but intensely potent chilli pepper grown mainly in Kerala, Assam, and Meghalaya. It ranks among the world's ten hottest chilli varieties. In traditional Kerala cooking and Ayurveda, it has been used to support digestion, boost metabolism, and manage cholesterol — properties now supported by modern research. The capsaicin in Kanthari Mulaku activates TRPV1 receptors in the body, which are linked to thermogenesis, metabolic rate improvement, and cardiovascular function, according to the PMC review on dietary capsaicin (Biomolecules, December 2022). Worth2Deal uses whole Kanthari Mulaku — not dried red chilli powder — for authentic heat and flavour.
Q3: Does Worth2Deal Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle contain artificial preservatives?
No. Worth2Deal Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle contains no Class II preservatives — no sodium benzoate, no potassium sorbate, no sorbic acid — and no artificial food colour. The natural preservation in this pickle comes from the antimicrobial allicin in garlic, the capsaicin in Kanthari Mulaku, the acidic spice blend, oil coating, and salt. Most commercial garlic chilli pickles available on Amazon and in supermarkets contain Class II preservatives and artificial colour. Worth2Deal contains neither.
Q4: Is birds eye chilli pickle good for health?
Birds eye chilli contains capsaicin, one of the most extensively studied bioactive food compounds. A large epidemiological study tracked in the PMC Biomolecules review (2022) found that regular chilli consumers had a mortality rate of 21.6% versus 33.6% among non-consumers, with lower hypertension prevalence (19.9% versus 27.1%). The garlic in this pickle contains allicin, which the Frontiers in Immunology review (June 2024, doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1277074) confirms exhibits cardiovascular protective, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties. Worth2Deal does not make clinical health claims for this product. Consume in appropriate portions as part of a balanced diet. Consult your doctor for medical advice.
Q5: How spicy is Worth2Deal Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle?
This pickle is genuinely very spicy. Kanthari Mulaku is one of the world's ten hottest chilli varieties — significantly more intense than standard red chilli powder. The heat is sharp and fiery with a fruity, complex undertone that distinguishes birds eye chilli from generic commercial chilli. Over the first few days after opening, the spiciness integrates with the garlic and spice base to create a layered heat rather than raw burn. If you enjoy spicy food and are familiar with South Indian cuisine, this pickle is a rewarding condiment. If you are sensitive to heat, start with a small amount alongside rice or curd rice to test your tolerance.
Q6: What is the difference between garlic pickle and garlic chilli birds eye pickle?
Worth2Deal's plain Garlic Pickle (Veluthulli Achar) uses the standard Kerala Namboodiri spice profile with red chilli powder as one of multiple seasonings — garlic is the primary ingredient, and the heat is moderate. The Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle uses whole Kanthari Mulaku (birds eye chilli) as a co-primary ingredient alongside whole garlic. The result is significantly more intense heat, a fruity-fiery chilli flavour that complements the garlic, and a more complex overall profile. If you want mild-to-medium spice, choose the Veluthulli Achar. If you want authentic, intense Kerala heat with whole kanthari, choose this product.
Q7: What meals does garlic chilli birds eye pickle go with?
Worth2Deal Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle pairs best with: Kerala red rice kanji (rice porridge) — the most traditional pairing, where the pickle's heat contrasts perfectly with the bland starchy base; kappa (boiled tapioca) — a quintessential Malabar combination; hot rice and sambar; chapati and paratha for North Indian meal settings; and curd rice where cooling curd balances the intense heat. Use one to two pieces per serving. The NatureLoc product description confirms the traditional serving with "rice, kappa, kanji, side dish." This pickle also works as a finishing condiment for biriyani or as a flavour element alongside plain boiled eggs.
Q8: Can I order Worth2Deal Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle from Bangalore, Mumbai, or Delhi?
Yes. Worth2Deal ships pan-India from Malappuram, Kerala, with free delivery on all orders. We fulfil orders to Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode, Thrissur, Malappuram, Kannur, Coimbatore, Mysore, Surat, Jaipur, Lucknow, and all major cities.

Q9: How long does Worth2Deal Garlic Chilli Birds Eye Pickle stay fresh?
Unopened, shelf life is 3 months from date of manufacture when stored in a cool dry place. After opening, refrigerate and consume within 30 to 45 days using a clean dry spoon at every use. The single most important storage practice is dry spoon discipline — moisture from a wet spoon introduces bacteria that can cause spoilage within 48 hours. Do not store in iron or aluminium containers. The acidic chilli and vinegar base reacts with these metals. Glass or food-grade plastic containers are correct.

Yes — and the data confirms it specifically for the spicy pickle segment. The Market Data Forecast global pickles report (February 2026) identifies chilli pickles as the fastest-growing pickle sub-segment globally, growing at CAGR 9.8% from 2026 to 2034. In India, over 60% of households consume chilli and garlic achar regularly, with branded spicy pickle sales in urban centres increasing 22% between 2020 and 2023 (National Council for Applied Economic Research, cited in Market Data Forecast, 2026). Online pickle sales in India are growing at 25 to 30% annually (The India Watch, 2025). Regional specialities like Kerala Kanthari Mulaku Achar are the fastest-growing consumer segment within this expansion, as urban buyers seek authentic regional condiments beyond mass-market brands. Worth2Deal has been producing Kerala-style pickle in Malappuram since 2017 and ships pan-India.
