Fish Pickle- Kerala Style
When it comes to non-veg pickles, I prefer homemade ones to store bought. Whenever I make them, it doesn’t go past a week. Well, it so happens that the moment we lay eyes on Non-veg pickle, we go crazy. So instead of taking a spoonful, we end up having generous servings. Tuna is the ideal fish for pickling.

If not, you could buy fish steaks, fry them and then break…

Avakkai (Andhra style Mango Pickle)
I LOVE pickles. We used to buy Avakkai pickle till I tried making it at home some time back. The best part about making this pickle is the simplicity in its preparation.

The first time we had tasted Whole Chilli Pickle was some years back, at J’s colleague’s house and it was love at first bite :-P. The best part was that contrary to our belief, it wasn’t hot at all. Once home, it took me sometime to zero in on one recipe on the net. This pickle is made very often a
