Andhra Magaya Pickle
Grated raw mango cured with red chilli and fenugreek — a coastal classic. Sun-cured the old-fashioned way, slow-tempered in cold-pressed sesame oil, and bottled by hand in our village kitchen. Best enjoyed with hot rice and a generous spoon of ghee.
Authentic Andhra Magaya Pickle
Andhra Magaya Pickle is the elegant cousin of Avakaya — a coastal Andhra classic where raw mango is grated, sun-dried and then cured with red chilli, mustard and fenugreek. Lighter than Avakaya yet just as soulful, our Andhra Magaya Pickle is handcrafted in Tanuku by a four-generation family using the same slow methods our great-grandmothers swore by, with cold-pressed sesame oil and no shortcuts.
What makes our Andhra Magaya different
We start with firm, freshly grated raw mango that is sun-dried until its moisture concentrates into a chewy, intense tang. This dried mango is then cured with Guntur red chilli powder, mustard, fenugreek and rock salt, hand-pounded on a stone grinder. A slow soak in cold-pressed sesame oil rehydrates the shreds into glossy ribbons. Our Andhra Magaya Pickle keeps its bite — never mushy, always toothsome.
Flavour profile & experience
Expect a long, slow tang that lingers like a memory — sharper and more concentrated than fresh mango. The fenugreek brings a savoury bitterness, the chilli adds steady warmth and the mustard a gentle pungency. Cold-pressed sesame oil binds it all with a nutty hum. Andhra Magaya Pickle is the kind of flavour that improves with every passing week in the jar.
How to enjoy Andhra Magaya
Eat it the classic way — a spoonful over hot rice with a generous drizzle of ghee. It pairs beautifully with Mudda Pappu, curd rice or sambar rice. Tuck it into a thali, spread it inside a dosa, or pack it with phulkas for travel. Andhra Magaya Pickle is a pantry staple that turns the simplest meal into something memorable.
