What Makes Avakaya Special?
ఆవకాయ ప్రత్యేకత
Avakaya begins when mangoes are still firm and sour. Cut too ripe, and the pieces will not hold. Cut too early, and the sourness never opens. In our house that judgement still belongs to Venu Kumari.
Mustard is the second secret. It is what makes avakaya taste like avakaya and not like any other red pickle. Chilli brings the heat, oil carries it, and salt keeps it. None of these can be rushed.
We prepare avakaya after you order, in small batches, the same way it is made for the family table in Guntur. The colour should be deep and the mango should still have a bite.
