Andhra Avakai Pickle (Cut Raw Mango Pickle)
Though there many varieties of mango pickles, the Avakai Mango pickle of Andhra is the most adorable one and loved by all. Till few years back I was thinking making this Avakai pickle must be a complicated process. My sister in law's mother in law gave me the simplest recipe when I met her in a marriage and immediately I tried it out. From then it has become my signature recipe and every summer I make this pickle in large scale for all my family members...
