This pickle is very famous in Telangana region of Andhra pradesh . It has got different names such as 'Allam kaya' , 'Allam avakaya' ... . I truely love this pickle , love to have this with hot hot rice and a drop of ghee . This pickle is very easy to make and have a shelf life of 1 year.

  • Chop mango into big pieces .
  • Make ginger garlic paste .
  • Heat a pan add 8 tbspns of oil and when hot add cumin and vaminta seeds ( they look like small mustard seeds and are very crunchy ) . Add ginger garlic paste and spread it with spoon and after a minute switch off stove . Let this cool.
  • Add tadka to mango pieces and mix nicely.
  • Take a bowl and mix salt , chilly powder , mustard powder and fenugreek powder.

    Vaminta seeds look like small mustard seeds but you get them in India and in only few places it is available . In telugu it is called as 'chilaka mukkulu' or ' vomati ginjalu' . They will be very crunchy and we add them in pickles. If you dont find them you can add regular mustard seeds.

    -Cheers,
    Preethi
