Avakaya

🇮🇳 Indian

Andhra avakaya, the mango pickle so hot it demands a warning. Small bowl, big personality. Spoon alongside breakfast or stir through hot rice with ghee.

  • Mustard Seeds1 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Dried Red Chilies2

  • Red Chili Powder1 tsp
  • Mustard Oil1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chop, measure and line up; the cooking part is over before the radio finishes a song.

  2. 2

    Briefly warm the mustard seeds in a dry pan until the kitchen smells like it means it.

  3. 3

    Pound or blend the green mango with chilies, tamarind and salt; the stone grinder texture is worth chasing.

  4. 4

    Check the seasoning with a plain spoonful of rice; adjust till it pops.

  5. 5

    Pour the crackling tadka over the chutney and leave it sitting on top like a crown.

Chef's tip

Tamarind too sour? A spoon of coconut milk calms it.
