Following these steps before making mango pickle / avakaya extremely crucial to achieve good results and a pickle that will last a whole year.Before making mango pickle, clean all the utensils you are going to use for the process and sun dry them so that they are moisture free.
A little bit of moisture can result in fungus and the pickle will be spoiled.
Mix the pickle with clean and dry hands.
To make mango pickle mature, fiber , sour mangoes are required.
China rasalu type mangoes are ideal.
Once the mangoes are cut , they are to be used the same day to prepare the mango pickle. The fresh raw mangoes are soaked in water for an hour, wiped dry and carefully cut with a special knife. Cut the mangoes with the kernel /outer core (tenka in telugu) intact and into uniform size pieces.
The pith is discarded while the hard kernel is left intact and the wafer thin transparent layer lining the kernel is removed with a help of a spoon or knife. Each mango piece is then carefully cleaned with a soft cloth and laid out to be dried on a cloth for an hour or two before beginning the pickling process.
The other important components of mango pickle recipe is the use of freshly ground mustard powder, red chilli powder used for making pickles, crystal salt and cold pressed gingelly oil {unrefined sesame oil also called pappu nune/nuvvulu nune in telugu}. Usually home made fresh redchilli powder is used to make the pickle. The red chilis are sun dried and ground to a fine powder.
If you don’t have homemade redchilli powder, use ‘Three Mangoes’ brand of red chili powder if using store bought chili powder.
Black mustard seeds are sun dried and freshly ground on the day of pickling so that the pickle retains the fresh flavor of mustard.
Once the pickle is prepared and stored in a jar, you need to place the lid, tie a cloth over the lid and do not open the jar for at least 3 days.
On the 4th day, open the lid add 1 tbsp turmeric and mix well.
If required,Pour 1/4 cup oil on top as the pickle needs to be covered in thin layer of oil. Cover the jar with lid and tie a cloth over it. Let the pickle marinate for another 4 days.serve with hot rice and ghee.
