There’s something timeless about the Avakaya pickle, a staple in our kitchens that takes us back to simpler times and cherished memories. For many of us, the mere mention of this pickle brings a flood of nostalgia—bringing back memories of summer days with family and the smell of spices filling the house.
A Bite of Nostalgia
I still remember the taste and smell of my grandma’s famous mango pickle from my childhood summers.
Back then, the women would spend their afternoons grinding spices and making pickles, filling the house with the sounds of their chatter and the steady thud of the stone mortar and pestle.
Kids like me would run around, playing hide and seek or sneaking in a game of caroms. The air was always filled with mouthwatering scents of ginger, garlic, mustard, sesame, chili, lemon, and curry leaves.
The Tradition of Avakaya Pickle
Avakaya pickle which is also called” Mango Pickle" or “Aam ka achar” is more than just a condiment; it’s a piece of culinary heritage. This beloved mango pickle is made using ripe, fully-seeded mango pieces, which are combined with a blend of powerful spices to create a pickle that’s as flavourful as it is fiery. Here’s a closer look at the ingredients that make Avakaya so special:
- Mango Pieces: Handpicked and fully shelled, these mangoes are the heart of the pickle. Their medium size ensures they are flavourful and hold up well during the pickling process.
- Chilli Powder: Adds a kick of heat, giving the pickle its signature spicy edge.
- Mustard Powder: This ingredient infuses the pickle with a tangy depth that complements the mango’s natural sweetness.
- Gingelly Oil: Also known as sesame oil, it adds a nutty richness and acts as a natural preservative.
- Garlic: Enhances the pickle with its robust, savory flavour.
- Salt: Balances the spices and brings out the mango’s vibrant taste.
