Wondering who I am?
I am grandmother. Remember that person who always brought a smile to your face for being the one who always heard you, the one who loved you no matter what, the one who laughed at whatever you said whether or not that was funny! I am that person.

Srijanani, my daughter, is someone who loves to experiment with food and combinations. Her favourite is the Gongura pickle.
She herself used to get Gongura from the market, carefully pluck the leaves out of the stem and get everything ready for me to prepare the pickle. Srikanth, on the other hand, was never much into the pre-preparation effort but was prompt to eat once the pickle was ready.
Some days she used to mix Gongura with Kandi Podi while on the other days Nuvvula Podi used to be the combination. Surprisingly all her combinations used to click.
Such was her fondness of Gongura that she used to invite her friends to our home and let all of them experience her combinations.
And at the slightest hint of resistance from anyone, she used to hit back saying that Gongura is a rich source of iron, vitamin C and antioxidants - no wonder she chose home science as her career path

Lunch/dinner
Perfect with hot rice and ghee along with raw onions and green chilli, accompanied by a cup of cream or curd. And also, it tastes delicious with Mudda Pappu as well. In case you are up for more fun, try it with Nuvvula Podi and Kandi Podi as well.
Ingredients
Chilli
Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh is famous for its Mirchi. The soil there happens to be the most conducive for the mirchi crop. We procure our mirchi and mirchi powder from a handpicked farmland in Repalle village in Guntur District. Our farmer cultivates a specific mirchi variety that suits our spice standards.
Gongura
Tenali, a town in Guntur District, is the place from where we procure Gongura. Traditionally, Guntur soil is considered to be the finest for Gongura.
Salt
Brought in from Gujarat in huge bags, the salt goes through an organic process and pounded which removes all moisture, ensuring quality and longevity.

“I am hungry, Amma,” I said as my mother and I reached home. It was a little late in the afternoon by the time we returned from the temple at the hilltop. The celebration today lasted longer than expected. And I am hungry, having had nothing since morning. “I will make something quick”, she said. […]
Summer mornings and sun-drying activities on the terraces are inseparable. Let's swim through the memory lanes of Grandma and know history of pickling from her perspective!
There is a bit of Gandhi in every Indian. Be it with roads or with anecdotes, he is everywhere. On this Gandhi Jayanti, let us recollect a small story of his.
