Pickles That Bring Tradition to Your Table – The Best of Savithramma’s Avakaya

The Legacy of Pickles in South Indian Culture

Pickles have always been a staple in South Indian meals. From simple dal-rice combinations to elaborate festive spreads, a spoonful of pickle enhances every dish. In Andhra Pradesh, pickle-making is an art, perfected over centuries and deeply rooted in family traditions.

Why Are Pickles So Important in Indian Cuisine?

• Pickles provide a burst of flavor to even the simplest of meals.
• They serve as a natural preservative, ensuring year-round access to seasonal ingredients like mango and gooseberry.
• They are packed with beneficial spices and natural probiotics, aiding digestion and improving gut health.

Among all pickles, Avakaya (Mango Pickle) remains the undisputed king. Prepared using raw mangoes, mustard powder, red chili powder, and aromatic spices, it is known for its fiery and bold flavors. In Andhra households, Avakaya is often handmade in large batches, aged to perfection, and stored in ceramic jars to preserve its authenticity.

Savithramma’s follows this same age-old process, ensuring that every jar of Avakaya tastes just like the ones made at home.

What Makes Savithramma’s Pickles Special?

At Savithramma’s, we don’t just make pickles—we preserve traditions. Our pickles stand out because of:

1. Farm-Fresh Ingredients

We use only the best locally sourced raw mangoes, sorrel leaves, gooseberries, and tomatoes to ensure an authentic taste.

2. Handpicked Spices

Our pickles are flavored with a special blend of sesame powder, mustard seeds, fenugreek (menthi powder), cumin, and red chili powder, enhancing both taste and aroma.

3. Traditional Preparation Methods

Every batch is handcrafted and aged in traditional earthen pots, ensuring that the flavors develop naturally over time.

4. No Artificial Preservatives

Unlike commercially produced pickles, Savithramma’s pickles are free from synthetic preservatives and chemicals, making them a healthier alternative.

5. Pure Sunflower Oil

We use fresh sunflower oil in every batch, ensuring the perfect balance of flavor and longevity without overpowering the natural taste of the ingredients.

The result is a rich, flavorful, and authentic pickle that tastes just like homemade.

Different Pickles for Different Tastes

At Savithramma’s, we offer a variety of pickles that cater to different flavor preferences. Each pickle is crafted with the same dedication to quality and authenticity.

1. Avakaya (Mango Pickle) – The Traditional Favorite

The most iconic Andhra pickle, Avakaya, is a spicy, tangy delight made from handpicked raw mangoes, mustard powder, and red chili powder.

Best enjoyed with hot rice and a dollop of ghee, this pickle is a must-have for those who love bold flavors.

2. Gongura Pickle – The Tangy Sorrel Leaf Delight

Gongura, or sorrel leaves, are an Andhra specialty, known for their unique tangy taste. Our Gongura Pickle combines these leaves with red chilies, mustard, and aromatic spices to create a pickle that pairs beautifully with rice, dosa, or curd rice.

3. Lemon Pickle – A Zesty, Spicy Twist

This citrusy delight is made with handpicked lemons, slow-aged with salt, chili powder, and mustard seeds. It’s the perfect companion for rotis, rice, and even snacks like samosas and pakoras.

4. Tomato Pickle – A Perfect Blend of Sweet and Spicy

Made with sun-ripened tomatoes, this pickle balances natural sweetness, spice, and tanginess. It can be paired with dosa, idli, or chapati, making it a versatile addition to your meals.

5. Oosiri (Gooseberry Pickle) – Packed with Nutrition

Gooseberries are known for their high vitamin C content and antioxidant properties. Our Oosiri Pickle blends fresh gooseberries with mustard, spices, and oil, creating a flavorful and healthy condiment.
