Kakal Jeerige Appe Midi Pickle | Jeera Midi Pickle – Traditional Wild Mango Pickle from Karnataka
Discover the unique and traditional flavor of Jeerige Appe Midi Pickle, a treasured delicacy from the Western Ghats of Karnataka. Made using rare wild mangoes known for their natural cumin-like (jeerige) aroma, this pickle brings an irresistible twist to your meal.
Jeerige Appe Midi (also known as Jeera Midi) refers to a special variety of tender mangoes that grow in the wild forests of Shivamogga and Uttara Kannada districts. These mangoes are renowned for their cumin-like flavor, firm texture, and traditional use in making pickles that are naturally aromatic and intensely flavorful.
Prepared using time-honored methods, Kakal Jeerige Appe Midi Pickle is made with select mangoes pickled in a blend of salt, red chilli powder, mustard, fenugreek, cumin, and hing (asafoetida). The result is a spicy, tangy, and robust pickle that pairs beautifully with rice, curd rice, dosa, idli, and traditional South Indian thalis.
