Making Avakaya at home is a tradition as old as Andhra itself — but sourcing the right raw mango variety, the right Guntur chilli, the freshly ground mustard powder and the correct ratios is something that stumps even experienced cooks outside Andhra Pradesh.

Babai's Avakaya Kit solves this completely. Everything you need to make authentic, restaurant-quality Andhra Avakaya at home — measured, prepared and packed by Chef Murala Venkatesh himself — is inside this one kit. All you need to bring is the raw mango.

This is not just a spice kit. It is a cultural experience — the smell of the mustard, the heat of the Guntur chilli, the feel of mixing your own pickle by hand. The same experience that Telugu families have had every mango season for generations, now available to anyone anywhere in India.

What's inside the kit:

Pre-measured Guntur red chilli powder
Freshly ground mustard powder
Rock salt
Fenugreek powder
Cold-pressed groundnut or sesame oil
Step-by-step instruction card by Chef Venkatesh

Why Babai's Avakaya Kit is different:

Exact spice ratios used by Chef Venkatesh — no guesswork
Guntur red chilli powder for authentic Andhra heat
Freshly ground mustard powder — not pre-packaged
Cold-pressed oil included — no need to source separately
Step-by-step instructions for first-time pickle makers
Perfect gifting option for pickle lovers and NRIs

Best for: First-time Avakaya makers, Telugu families outside Andhra, food lovers who want the homemade experience, and as a unique gift for any occasion.

Storage: Store unopened kit in a cool dry place. Once prepared, store Avakaya in an airtight glass jar and refrigerate.

Tip: Use firm, sour raw mangoes — Totapuri or Banginapalli variety — for the most authentic Avakaya flavour. Avoid sweet mangoes. The sourer the mango, the better the Avakaya.
