Mattur Appe Midi Pickle – A Sanskrit Village’s Traditional Treasure
Nestled on the banks of the Tunga River in Karnataka lies the serene village of Mattur, one of the rare places in India where Sanskrit is spoken as a daily language. Known for preserving Vedic traditions and ancient wisdom, this village blends culture and purity in everything it produces – including its legendary Appe Midi Pickle.
The Mattur Appe Midi Pickle is crafted using tender, wild-harvested appe midi mangoes – a rare variety of baby mangoes known for their naturally firm texture and intense flavor. Traditionally sun-cured and fermented in brine, these mangoes are then blended with a rich mixture of mustard seeds, red chillies, turmeric, and other natural spices to create an unforgettable burst of tangy-spicy flavor.
The recipe has been passed down for generations and is still prepared using age-old methods. Every batch reflects the same discipline and purity that Mattur is known for – slow fermented, sun-aged, and made without any chemical preservatives. This lends the pickle a unique taste, longer shelf life, and unmistakable homemade quality.
Whether paired with hot rice and ghee, curd rice, or rice and sambar, Mattur Appe Midi Pickle turns any meal into a nostalgic feast. It’s not just a condiment – it’s a taste of tradition and cultural pride straight from a Sanskrit-speaking village.
