Manga Achar/ Mango Pickle




Manga Achar/ Mango Pickle

Green mango pickle is a delicious and spicy condiment. We rarely get raw mangoes here and few weeks back , I was so glad to come across raw mangoes in our grocery store. I have already shared pickle recipes with mango like Kerala kadumanga/mango pickle and Andhra mango pickle/ aavakaya. This mango pickle is spicy,sweet and sour. 


Ingredients
Green Mango cubes- 3 cup
Garlic- 15- 20 pods
Ginger- 2 inch thick piece
Dates- 8-10
Chilly powder- 4-5 tbs
(or according to your spice tolerance)
Fenugreek powder- 1 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida-  1 tsp
Salt- to taste
Sugar- 1/2 tsp
Gingerly oil- 1/2 cup
Mustard seeds- 1/3 tsp
Vinegar- 1/2 cup
 



Cut mangoes into cubes. Sprinkle salt, cover and leave it in room temperature for 4-6 hours.

Soak dates in half of the vinegar. After about an hour make it into a paste.

Using a mortal and pastel crush ginger and garlic (around 10-15) into a course mixture. Slice the rest of the garlic.

Heat oil in  pan and add mustard seeds. When they splutter add sliced garlic and the  crushed ginger and garlic. Saute till raw flavor disappears.
Switch off the flame and add the chilly powder, fenugreek powder,asafoetida,sugar and salt as needed. Add the dates paste and mix well.Return to the stove and heat in low flame for a minute. Switch off the flame and add the chopped mangoes and left over vinegar.
Allow to cool down and then store in air tight bottle.


Try this,
Hope you will all enjoy!

Thalashery Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is very important for festive occasions in Kerala. Different styles like Kozhikodan Biryani, Malabar Biryani, Thalashery style, Kayees Biryani famous in Central Kerala especially Cochin....the list goes on and on..... This recipe I had noted in my recipe book some time back  from a TV show. Talasherry Biryani ingredients are not much different from the usual Kerala styles,but the preparation and taste is definitely unique. In the ingredients you will find a total absence of curd and chilly powder. The rice I has used is long grain basmathi rice, as I did not have the smaller variety which is actually used in this biryani. Give this recipe a try..you will surely feel the difference.

Kerala Chicken Curry/Home Style Chicken Curry

Kerala Chicken Curry Spicy chicken curry is a great accompaniment with rice, appam, or chapati. This chicken curry is an old comfort food recipe, simple and straight forward and you will never go wrong with this. It is a simple, easy chicken curry but tastes delicious. The flavor of earthy spices, onion tomato- masala, and coconut milk all melding into one another, to make rich and aromatic chicken curry. This home-style chicken was the first chicken curry that mom taught me. My mom is my food hero, and sometimes she got this wildly experimenting streak which drives my dad crazy, but I enjoy it the most. So let me call this home style, standardized regular curry, which she makes every Sunday. Now when I’m feeling extra nostalgic for homey taste, I make this chicken curry.  It goes well with almost anything-naans, chapatis, ghee rice, fried rice, or with freshly baked bread.   Coconut milk adds flavor and a touch of sweetness to the curry. If you like, you can add s...

Spiced Pineapple Pickle- Kerala Pineapple Achar

Spiced Pineapple Pickle- Kerala Pineapple Achar Pineapple pickle is a delicious pickle, fresh and bursting with tropical flavors. Pineapple pickle has a sweet and savory combination and adds a zesty kick to any meal. Do you like sweet and spicy pickles?. I love pickled, salted, and fermented vegetables and fruits . It is easy-to-make condiments and a must-have in my kitchen. My family favorites are sweet and savory pineapple chutney and spiced pineapple in salted brine. Salted pineapples are good on sandwiches, fish tacos, or roasted meat. The best part of this pickle is that you can use it just like chutney or salted pineapple. The pickle is for those who love to take the spice level a notch higher. Pineapple pickle is a tongue-tingling sweet, tangy, mildly spiced pickle. It is delicious, and the flavor and taste are irresistible. It can be paired practically with everything, but it is best with parathas and naan. This recipe is from my mother-in-law. Sweet and sour pickles a...
