In Andhra when you utter the name of the recipe “Mamidikaya Turumu Pachadi “ one can feel mouth-watering. It is not only easy to make but also delicious. People love to eat their first lump of rice mixed with Andhra mango thokku and ghee. I have even observed people love to eat with mudda pappu recipe.
People make this recipe in two variants with almost the same ingredients. If we are planning to consume this pickle within a month or two can grate and directly make this recipe within minutes. If you are planning to make niluva pachadi which lasts over a year should dry grated mango under the sun.
Most of the time we make use of branded Mango pickle spice powder to save time but I recommend making our fenugreek-mustard powder by dry roasting them on low flame till we get a nice aroma and then grinding them to soft powder.
Many of us make use of branded iodine salt as we got habitat to them but most of them are multi filtered before making non-sticky salt grains. So it’s a good idea to use crystal salt, we make powder of them and add them adequately as they are less salty when compared to iodine salt. (Note: adjust as per your taste).
Tips to make perfect Grated Mango Pickle Recipe | Andhra Mango Thokku:
- Grate mangoes with maximum size grater hole to give eye compelling mango grate while eating with hot rice.
- Always roast fenugreek and mustard seeds on low flame to give perfect flavour.
- Instead of adding iodized salt, adding crystal salt gives a nice taste so make soft powder of crystal salt. Grinding crystal salt will also make your mixer grinder blades sharp.
- As we are making this recipe in small quantities we need not worry about shelf life, if you need more than 3-month shelf life, then put grated mangoes under the fan so that we can make use of the dried grate.
