Summer is when the days stretch lazily, the streets come alive with the tinkling bells of ice gola carts, and the kids are off on their new learnings and adventures in their summer camps. The time for extra fun and some extra snacks. Amidst the culinary delights served on our plates, there's one ingredient that elevates the meal to new heights, infusing it with unmatched flavour. What is it? Yes, it's none other than pickles.
We, Indians, love our summers just as much as we love our winters. Though we enjoy eating piping hot chai and pakodas in winter, there's something magical about eating a steaming plate of rice drenched in ghee with the zing of mango pickle in the summer.
Mangoes, revered as the king of fruits, hold a special place in our hearts, especially during the Indian summer. Beyond their succulent, ripe form, mangoes are transformed into delectable pickles. Indian mango pickles, with their diverse regional variations and cherished family recipes, stand as a testament to our rich culinary heritage.
Experience India’s rich mango flavours with Priya Foods' exceptional range of pickles. From the sun-kissed shores of Kerala to the vibrant markets of Gujarat, our selection showcases the finest regional mango pickle traditions, each promising a distinctive and delightful taste adventure.
1. MANGO AVAKAYA PICKLE
This Andhra Mango Pickle is lovingly called Avakaya or Avakai or Avakaya Pachadi. This uber-essential version is made with unripe green mangoes and is spicy and robust – just like Andhra cuisine. The word ‘Ava’ refers to mustard seeds, and ‘Kaya’ is for raw fruit or unripe mango here for this pickle. This goes well with all South Indian dishes, but there’s a massive fanbase for Muddhapappu avakaya in India.
