Avakkai Pickle is one of the popular Pickle Variety in South India. Most of us may think that making avakkai pickle is complex, but, this is one of the easiest pickle. In India, during mango season, we can ask the mango sellers to chop the mangoes for avakkai pickle. The mangoes need to be cut with the seed. Generally, we finely chop the mangoes without the seed for mango pickle, but for this avakkai pickle, we need to chop the mangoes to bigger cubes along with the seed. For any pickle, mustard, hing and fenugreek seeds play an important role. In Avakkai Pickle, we also add more mustard seeds powder compared to other pickle.

Other important ingredients for any pickle is Oil. We should be little generous in oil to have a long shelf life. The spice and oil plays an important role in shelf life of the pickle. My MIL always advice me that, we should be generous in adding sweetner like sugar or jaggery while making sweets / desserts and also we should not be scared to add generous amount spice and oil to pickle. A bowl of curd rice with one piece of avakkai pickle is a heavenly dish, especially during hot summers.

Why do you use Kondakadalai? Is it the same as we use during the Navarathri festival the Sundal mookukadalai brown in color? Do you add it dry or do you soak it overnight or cook it before adding it to the pickle? Your kadalai in the video looks white like the ones the North Indians use often. Please clarify.

Hello, traditionally Kondakadalai (White chick pea) added to the avakkai pickle. While serving, i found the kondakadalai gives very good crunchy and taste to the pickle. This is the same kondakadalai that we use for Navrathri. No need to soak it. Just add the dry kondakadalai. It will get tender over 3-4 days.

Maybe dry kondakadalai soaks the excess water from mangoes and helps in preserving the pickle

Hi. I made avakkai pickle. Looks like the taste of mustard powder is overpowering. How to correct it? Thanks.
