There is something about South Indian Pickles. Spicy Andhra pickles and Telangana chutneys are a treat. No one can resist it! Combine it with cold curd rice, Heaven!

If you like it vegan, eat it with some lemon rice or tomato rice. Mango pickles are so versatile. You can make it with ginger or garlic as main flavor. Both mango ginger and mango-garlic is amazing. Grate it and make a sweet  chundo, Gujarati style, with jaggery. Make a traditional cut mango pickle or make one Sindhi style with chickpeas. If you like a sweet chutney style,make your own launji.

My earliest pickle memories

You can never understand the magic of simple ingredients until you taste it. One will wonder how it can actually make a meal. But it does. I have seen so many people relish thokku with curd rice during train journeys. Long travel would make food stale. So people would add curd to fresh milk and cooked rice before boarding. Curd would set in a few hours. This would mean fresh meal in the night without looking for it at a station.

Pachadi or chutney can be made with many veggies even okra,brinjal and ridge gourd. These are eaten with rice.While the most common ones are tomato pachdi, coconut chutney, allam avakaya or ginger pachdi. These are eaten with idli,dosa ,pesarattu, uttapam and upma.Simple yet tasty ideas.

Summer is all about pickling. Enjoy it while the sun lasts. Pickling at home makes it preservative free too.

Happy and healthy tummy! Yummy!!

It still amazes me how something so sour like raw mango turns into so sweet with time. I guess we can all learn from nature. How patience can make something so sour sweet.

Time we look into us and become sweeter than we are at present!
