Soybean & King Chilli Pickle, 200 – Hawaizar Umorok Achar | IHA Foods

Experience one of Manipur’s most iconic flavors with Hawaizar Umorok Achar, a powerful combination of fermented soybean (Hawaizar) and King Chilli (Umorok). This traditional pickle delivers an intense burst of umami, heat, and pungent aroma—deeply rooted in Northeast Indian cuisine.
