Ava Baddalu is an instant mango pickle flavoured with a paste of mustard seeds and green chillies.
You don't have to wait to savour this pickle. You can enjoy it immediately and therein lies the attraction; at least for me.

I love pickles and often do not have the patience to wait for the pickling process to be completed. For me instant mango pickles are a lifesaver because I can make them on a whim and enjoy them immediately.
This a collection of instant mango pickles made in various states of India including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Himachal Pradesh.
I will keep adding to this collection as and when I post more recipes.
Kakarakaya Nilava Pachadi is a traditional Andhra Bitter Gourd Pickle.
This pickle has a long shelf-life and tastes fabulous when served as an accompaniment to Curd Rice or Dal Rice.
In Andhra, we make pickles with a range of vegetables, and this Dondakaya Avakaya is a perfect example of Andhra’s legendary pickling tradition. Do try it, and I assure you will love it.
Dondakaya Avakaya is an instant pickle with a decent shelf life of a couple of days. It tastes great with dal rice and dahi rice.
Mamidikaya Turumu Nilava Pachadi is Andhra-style grated mango pickle or Mango Thokku.
In this version, the grated mango is sun-dried and so this version of Mango Thokku lasts for more than a year.
The many health benefits of Methi Dana or Fenugreek seeds are widely known. However, it is (literally) a bitter pill to swallow.
Sprouting makes these seeds less bitter and more palatable.
One way to use fenugreek seeds is to make this Methi Dana Achar.
This spicy, tangy sprouted fenugreek seeds is very easy to make and can be preserved for a few weeks.
Ab taste bhi aur health bhi!

I am back with Khalle Ambo | Uppu Manga | Mangoes in Brine, another gem of a recipe by Anupama Micheal. (I am starting to believe this friend of mine deserves a category all by herself on my blog.) It all started in a food group that I am a part of. One of the...
