Anakapalle Enda (sunlight) Avakaaya (pickle) is a delicious mango pickle integral to the traditional cuisine of the “Dravida” Brahmin community of the coastal region of Anakapalle in north-eastern Andhra Pradesh, 35 kms from Vishakapatnam. This Pickle is part of the Traditional Community Based Geographical Origin Pickle offerings from Panakam-Tradition in a Bottle. This unique pickle has a smooth texture with a fine balance of spices, salt, sweet and acidity.
Pickling is a collaboration between tradition and nature that combines preservation methods and fine ingredients while letting nature do its magic. Endaavakaya literally means a pickle bathed in sunlight—symbolizing the importance of the most important elements in life: light and heat. Thus, no cooking is involved in preparing the Endaavakaya pickle. Still following the meticulous and elaborate process of centuries past, we at Panakam combine sun-dried mangoes with fine spices, oil and other traditional ingredients to create with loving care a naturally pure, authentic and healthy pickle. The resulting sweet-sour taste excites one’s taste buds with the flavours of a bygone era.

Personal Note from the Pickle maker – Due to food safety rules we have to mention the “Best Before date“ as 12 months from the date of packaging and 18 months from the date of manufacturing. But families making this traditional pickle prefer having it after one year of manufacturing date as the mango pieces absorbs all the spices and tastes best. Some pickles last for even 2-3 years or more if stored well and precautions followed.

Family behind this Pickle experience:
This traditional Endaavakaya pickle has been especially handmade by Madhuri Saripalle & family, and is inspired by the traditions of the Vedula & Saripalle family of Anakapalle in Andhra Pradesh. For more information on the family food artisans please read the FAMILY MADE page.
History of this product experience:
A group of Brahmins migrated from Saurashtra during 1300–1400 AD to south India and settled on the banks of River Kaveri in Tamil Nadu and adopted Tamil language. Around 1700 AD, some of these Brahmins travelled northwards to the River Godavari basin in coastal Andhra Pradesh and came to be called “Dravida” Brahmins, a subsect of the Vaidiki Brahmins. They adopted the Telugu language and integrated with the local Telugu-speaking people.
This Endaavakaya Mango pickle recipe was perfected by Smt Jnanaprasoonambika of the Saripalle/Vedula family traditions of Anakapalle. Her daughter Manjula Saripalle and granddaughter Madhuri Saripalle dedicate this pickle in her memory.
