Mango & Mustard Pickle (Avakai) Avakai, meaning "raw mango in mustard" in Telugu, is a quintessential Andhra pickle recipe. At The Pickle Story, we stay true to tradition by using hand-cut, young "Thella Gulabi" mangoes. These mangoes are then slow-cooked with a symphony of spices, including freshly pounded chili powder for a fiery kick, aromatic mustard seeds for depth, and a touch of turmeric for warmth. The addition of fragrant gingerly oil and a hint of salt completes this flavorful journey. Each bite is a burst of tangy sweetness, fiery heat, and savory goodness. Best Enjoyed: With hot rice and ghee: Avakai is a classic accompaniment to hot rice and ghee, the tanginess cutting through the richness for a truly satisfying experience. Sandwich and wrap twist: Spread Avakai on your favorite sandwiches or wraps for a burst of flavor and a spicy kick. Flavorful marinades: Use this pickle as a marinade for meats and paneer. The fiery chili powder and mustard seeds infuse the protein with an irresistible depth of flavor, perfect for those who love a bit of heat. More than just a pickle, it's a taste of Andhra tradition.
