Errakaaram™ isn’t just a chutney—it’s South India’s fiery tradition reimagined for today’s kitchens. Made with natural ingredients, free from preservatives, and bursting with authentic flavor, it transforms everyday meals into bold cultural experiences.
E rrakaaram™: Bringing South India’s Fiery Tradition to Your Modern Plate isn’t just chutney—it’s culture, memory, and heritage packed in a jar. For generations, this bold, tangy, and spicy condiment has lit up South Indian meals—dolloped on steaming idlis, spread over crisp dosas, or swirled into hot rice to awaken the senses.
Today, Errakaaram™ has evolved from a humble side dish into a clean-label, ready-to-eat brand created by Dhivya Kumar and Balaji Hariharan. Their mission? To bridge the gap between tradition and convenience—offering an authentic, preservative-free chutney that fits seamlessly into modern lifestyles.
The Cultural Roots of Errakaaram
In South India, fiery flavors have long been part of everyday life, and none capture that spirit better than Errakaaram™.
Traditionally, families prepared it by grinding red chilies, onions, jaggery, and spices in stone mortars, all brought together with earthy groundnut oil. Each household crafted its own variation—some adding tangy tamarind, others garlic for extra punch—but one thing remained constant: it was always additive-free and soulfully bold.
“Errakaaram wasn’t just food—it was a way of preserving the essence of the land, using local red chilies, jaggery, and groundnut oil.”
More than just chutney, it became a cultural symbol—linking farmers, kitchens, and generations. Every jar carried with it the unmistakable taste of heritage: natural, simple, and unapologetically bold.
Reinventing Heritage for the Modern Plate

While the taste of tradition remains timeless, today’s fast-paced life rarely allows the luxury of slow grinding and simmering in stone mortars. That’s where Errakaaram™ steps in—making heritage fit seamlessly into the modern plate.
Founders Dhivya Kumar and Balaji Hariharan realized that many families and young professionals longed for the flavors of home but lacked the time to recreate them. Their solution? A clean-label chutney that brings the same bold authenticity in a ready-to-eat form.
