Traditionally known as chinthakaya pachadi (Green raw tamarind pickle) is an age old delicacy. Exclusive to few parts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Chinthakaya pachadi is made from raw tamarind procured from the trees during the season. Selection of the right tamarind is essential in the making of this pickle as it shouldn’t be too tender or way too mature. After removing the ends the tamarind is ground into a paste along with salt and turmeric. This paste is left in a dark room for three days in a porcelain jars to set in. Then it is taken out to be made into pickle. Other Variants like Lemon Pickle and Munnakaya/Drumstick Pickle can be purchased online at SITARA FOODS Store.

Each ingredient and spices are carefully selected to get the desired taste. The ingredients are roasted on an optimum temperature and cooled before mixing with chinthakaya thokhu.
Pickles are a necessity as well as convenience as they help to preserved fruits, vegetables which are seasonal for a longer duration with added taste. Tamarind is a seasonal fruit; it is a nostalgia for many who can remember their grandmothers sorting out tamarinds and carefully choosing them to go under the stone grinder. They would be then ground into paste stored in jars whose mouth tied up with cotton clothes. As these jars basked in the sun, the contents inside would absorb the mild heat of sun releasing juices and absorbing all the spices. Then these pickles are added with spices and finally stored in glass or porcelain jars. Those who can recollect these procedures of traditional homes and grandmas would definitely agree how eagerly one waited for the pickle to reach the plate and mesmerize the palate.
