 Pickling is a combination of excellent preservation techniques and fine ingredients.The pickles my mom prepared in my childhood days were so numerous. The word kaya avakaya, literally meaning stuffed mango pickle.I learn the pickling process of mango pickle from my mother and sister who  are experts in our family. 

The stuffed mango pickle is known as  Kaya avakaya/  గుత్తి మామిడి ఆవకాయ , dried mango stuffed pickle(ఎండు ఆవకాయ ) too. Mango cutting is avakai's key step, and it can be done in all markets during mango season.

 One of my favorite traditional foods which is rarely made these days is kaya avakaya pickle. Pickle remains good until the following mango season. There is also an addition of jaggery to this pickle in some regions. You can add jaggery to this pickle by powdering it and mixing with the masala.
