We highly recommend eating this traditional South Indian tender baby mango pickle with curd rice and appalam!
If you’ve grown up eating this, you already know there’s nothing quite like biting into a whole 'baby' raw mango in a kadugu mangai pickle!
Girija Paati aims to bring food that she makes for her grandchildren to all homes were the 'parents and elders have too much work and responsibility, to help them a bit and give that home comfort.' During COVID, they were able to give safe work opportunities for women who were then able to support their families through tough times.
"Most of the recipes are very old, handed down from my great grandmother to her daughter to my mother and then to me.
Some of them I have invented on my own over the last 50 years like Milagai curry (for my father-in-law) and Sev Murukku, which I made one day out of the ingredients available in the kitchen when my grandchildren were all here and there was no snack to eat.
My testers are my family and then samples sent to regular customers. Both of which are ever-growing, by God’s grace."
We are driven by curiosity, and a deep love for product, and are committed to transparency. We scour the internet to find products we love—from brands we trust. We look for things that stand out for their distinctive design, quality and mindfulness. We recommend these finds on the Souk website and in our newsletters—and tell you exactly why we like them. Like any friend would do.
If you're new to this, here's the deal — when you buy something through a link on Souk, we may earn a percentage of the sale, but it is at no extra cost to you. This allows us to remain independent and focused on curating only what we genuinely love. Any ad or sponsored post will be clearly labelled as such — there are no secret product placements on Souk! Each time you use our links to buy something, it supports our team's hard work as your trusted shopping buddy.
