Andhra Raw Mango Pickle

Every summer, we wont keep ourselves away from making pickles, most mango pickles. Summer is the season where we will get abundantly variety of mangoes and every year we wont forget making mango pickles. Andhra style pickles always have their important place, these pickles are well known for their varieties of pickles with mango, sorrel leaves,tomatoes and chillies. I always want to learn Andhra style sorrel leaves pickle but somehow its kinda hard task for us to get super fresh sorrel leaves here.

But am somehow happy to get super fresh raw mangoes now in Indian grocery and this time i picked some raw mangoes just to make some Andhra style pickle and tried this tongue tickling raw mango pickle. I tried Prathy's Mukkala pachadi/Raw Mango Pickle , since this pickle goes for instant version i prepared them few weeks back at home. They turned out extremely delicious,hot and spicy. An incredible pickle to enjoy thoroughly with curd rice, and we finished very quickly. Am gonna make again this pickle next week as i picked again some super fresh raw mangoes from Indian stores yesterday.
