Re: Andhra Pickles krishnamma and epic.. thank you for going through my post..reg. green chillies..it depends on how spicy you want the pickle to be..however as the green chillies will be soaked in teh lemon juice during the storage of the pickle..i have put a handful of green chillies..small ones..not the long ones though.. I think I have typo there reg. teh oil part...i will correct it..you just need the oil for tempering thats all..i.e 4 or 5 table spoons.
Re: Andhra Pickles Babyraji There are two ways you can make fresh dosakaaya pacchadi or chutney.one with green chillies and the other with red chillies.. Dosakaaya chutny with green chillies 1 dosakaaya 10 to 12 green chillies 3 spoons tamarind juice salt peel and cut the dosakaaya into cubes neither small nor big (remove the seeds) also taste a piece of dosakaaya to check its not bitter. put green chillies and tamarind juice and salt in a blender and grind.till it becomes a paste and then put the dosakaya pieces or cubes. Ensure that we dont blend the dosakaaya pieces to a smooth paste. it wont taste good as a paste rather just blend it for 1 or 2 minutes and take it off Dosakaaya chutney with red chillies 10 red chillies 1 dosakaaya salt 3 to 4 spoons of tamarind juice oil for tempering Prepare tempering wtih oil and teh red chillies (along with jeera, mustard seeds,etc) peel the dosakaaya and remove the seeds and cut into pieces in a blender put the tempering and the tamarind juice and blend it to a smooth paste and then put the dosakaaya pieces and the salt and just blend it for a minute or so.chutney is ready. hope you will like it..

Dear saahitya :clap you done cool job..:thankyou2: Thanks for sharing yar, Gongura and tomato are my favorites. Also Avakaya yummy, it should be tasted only at the first preparation in summer. With new red chillies powder it tastes very spicy and hot.. Also post some Podullu, dosa, idly podi and also some other podis for mixing with rice..
Saahithya, Can we make avvakkai pickle with the raw mango available in USA(Indian grocery stores). Also wanted to check with you about cutting the mango seed. Thanks.
thanks senorita...sure will post the powders soon..i have posted some of them..see the first page...will post more ... Samayal.. I tried to make aavakaaya from the mangoes we get in USA....i took the very hard mangoes and made the pickle on that day only..as if we keep the mango in refrigerator for 1 day also it becomes soft which is not good for a pickle as it holds moisture... to cut the hard core of the mango..i.e the seed i used the bone cutter knife...you can get it in walmart or target...
