Erra kobbari pachadi
ERRA KOBBARI PACHADI (COCONUT CHUTNEY WITH DRY RED CHILLIES)
In  Andhra Pradesh (South India) break fast means idli, dosa, oothappam,  pesarattu for all these breakfast varieties normally we make coconut  chutney as a side dish. At my place every day grating coconut is the  first work, Amma use to make 1 full coconut chutney for every day and  also she makes each day a different coconut chutney. This erra kobbari  pachadi is my mom's specialty I must say. When ever I make this pachadi I  don't get the taste like what Amma use to make. This erra kobbari  pachadi is a perfect combination for dosa and hot steamed rice with a  drop of ghee. I am missing my mom s cooking a lot.............

MAMIDIKAYA TURUMU PACHADI - GRATED MANGO PICKLE
Here  is the next pickle from Mango season,which is very easy to make and  stay for long time(more then one year).This is an instent pickle which  you can use from the next day.It tastes little different then Avakaya  but process is almost the same only thing we grate the mangoes for this  pickle instead of making pieces.For this pickle we can use any verity of  raw green mangoes. Mangoes should be fully mature, raw, green and very  sour in taste. You can serve this pickle with any thing like Idli, Dosa,  Pongal, Curd rice,Rice . But my choice is when you mix this pickle with  leftover rice (don't add ghee or butter that will spoil the pickle  taste because ghee dominates the pickle flavor) in the next day morning  mmmm that is the best way to eat this pickle for me. and here is the  recipe.... INGREDIENTS:---- 
Mangoes --- 6 no. really big size mangoes measure the grated  mango that should be 2 kg s or 12 cups with rice cooker measurement cup.   
Salt ---- 250 g

Red chilli powder --- 250 g  
Turmeric powder --- 1 tab sp 
Oil ---- 1/2 kg 
Dry red chillies --- 10 no. broken

MAgaya
MAGAYA - SUN DRIED MANGO PICKLE
METHOD:---
MAGAYA - SUN DRIED MANGO PICKLE
METHOD:---
INGREDIENTS:----
Mangoes -- 6 big (we use peddarasalu)
Salt -- 250 g or 2 1/4 cup with rice cooker cup
Turmeric --- 2 tab sp
Mustard  power -- 250g or 2 1/4 cup (Dry 200 grams black mustard in hot sun for  2-3 hour or heat a deep frying pan and heat mustard till they hot when  you touch with your hand, take care that mustard should not splutter  when you fry them. Let them cool for some time and grind in to a fine  powder. Grind mustard seeds very slowly giving gap in between every 2  sec. otherwise oil may come out from the mustard seeds )
Fenugreek powder- 2 tab sp
Fenugreek seeds --- 1 tab sp
Red chilli powder --300 g or 3 1/4 cups
Oil --- 1/2 kg ( good quality sesame oil)or idayam gingely oil.
Garlic - 100 grams(Garlic should be added on third day.
METHOD:-----
1. Clean mangoes with a lightly wet cloth and leave a side for dry .
2.  Now cut the mangoes vertically in to half that the hard stone in the  inside the mango is also cut in to two parts,discard the in side soft  seed and their will be a thin layer stick to the hard part of the seed  discard that layer also and clean the mango pieces with a dry cloth.  Leave the hard shell of mango seed to the mango piece. that means each  piece should contain the hard stone part so that the mango piece should  not become soft after pickling for a year.
 3.  Now take half oil (I gave 1/2 kg oil in thair half means 1/4 kg oil) in  to a big bowl or plate and add turmeric powder and fenugreek seeds to  this oil mix well and add mango pieces to this oil and leave a side for  15 min. This will help to retain hard the mango piece in the pickle for  long time.
4.Then add the mustard powder, fenugreek powder, salt and  red chilli powder to the mango pieces and combine well with a ladle or  with you r hand to combine the ingredients well and coat the mango  pieces with the masala well.
 5.  place this mango pieces mixture in a jar or a glass bottle (don't use  plastic jars or bottle) and pour the leftover 1/4 kg oil on top of the  mango pieces and cover tightly and leave a side for 3 days.
6. On third day clean and peel the garlic cloves.
7.  Now open the pickle jar and mix with a clean and dry ladle and check  salt if required add some more salt and check once again, add garlic  cloves and again mix well care fully again cover tightly and leave for 1  more day.
8. This will stay for 1 year.
  NOTE:-- Choose the mangoes very carefully. Mangoes should be fully mature, raw, green and very sour in taste.
Especially  for avakai choose the mangoes with high fiber, normally in Andhra  pradesh we use peddarasalu or cheruku rasalu or any verity of rasalu  mangoes if you don't find this verity then you can use any long verity  which is fibrous, green and sour because when you pickling this fibrous  mangoes the pickle will stand till the next season without going soft.
make  sure that you don't touch water while making the pickle and clean each  and every thing like mixing bowl ladle and mangoes with a dry cloth and  dry them properly.
Don't compromise in ingredients like oil, salt and  chilli powder these three ingredients are soul for this pickle (not  only this every pickle). If you compromise in this three ingredients  your pickle will spoil by the next day it self. So don't compromise with  salt and oil measurements.
Can reduce the quantity of mustard powder in this case pickle (gravy) will become watery
first day what oil we pour in the pickle may not be visible but on the third day you can find the oil floating on top.
