Buy 4 and save 9%
The unexpected one; one taste and tamarind makes sense.
Tamarind and habanero come together in Tangy Mirchi - sweet, sour, and spicy all at once, rounded out with dates and warm spices. It’s based on a recipe my mom, Vasantha Prasad, has been making for over 50 years. It’s made for salads, noodles, tofu, fish, chicken, pork, and anything that could use a little sweet heat and tang.

What customers say
Real Tangy Mirchi Hot Sauce Fans.
I’ve tried the Tangy Mirchi and the Super Mirchi and they are both fantastic. Both have a complexity of flavor with a little that’s just right. I call the Goldilocks factor. I love the absence of preservatives and additives.
My son purchased a couple of bottles of Tangy Mirchi a couple of months ago. This sauce is so good that we went through it rather quickly. I ordered three more bottles online.
Addicted to the tangy mirchi sweet and spicy sauce! Amazing on eggs!
2nd Place at the 2026 Artisan Flave Awards because flavor beats fire every time.

How it works.
We skip the vinegar base and start with fresh tamarind, then layer in organic dates, aromatic spices and habanero. Clean, recognizable ingredients and pasteurization keep the flavor bright with no artificial preservatives, dyes or gums. Flavor shows up first, heat follows, and small-batch crafting keeps every bottle consistent with the homemade taste our family has loved for generations.
THE SAUCE THAT DOESN’T STOP AT THE DRIZZLE.
Imagine one bottle that can dip on a charcuterie board, stir into rice, marinate grilled chicken, or finish veggie skewers. Tangy Mirchi brings sweet-tart tamarind, date sweetness, and just enough habanero to make everyday meals taste anything but expected.
The Stuff You Actually Want to Know
Mirchi means chili pepper in Hindi. But across South Asian kitchens, it's more than just heat...it adds depth, brightness and personality.
Unlike most brands, we use fresh lemon or tamarind for acidity. This creates a bright, fresh and citrusy finish that enhances food without the harsh pungent bite of vinegar.
Our sauces are pasteurized to lock in safety and freshness, meaning we never have to rely on artificial preservatives, fake dyes, or thickeners. Relying instead on real fruit and authentic whole spices. You get pure flavor, exactly how nature intended. Once opened, store it in the fridge to keep it fresh and tasting its best.
Tangy Mirchi is based on my Mom's recipe, made with natural ingredients like dates and tamarind with just right heat. Offering a sweet and spicy flavor that won the Artisan Flave Award. We don't use vinegar or seed-oils.
Tangy Mirchi has a mild heat level. Easy on the taste buds and never overpowers your food.
Yes. Tangy Mirchi and all of our sauces are gluten-free, vegan, and made with clean, recognizable ingredients you can actually pronounce.
