Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Avakaya and Magaya?
Avakaya uses raw mango pieces with ground mustard for a sharp, hot taste. Magaya uses peeled, dried mango slices and is softer and tangier. We make both.
Is avakaya very spicy?
It is a traditional Andhra pickle, so yes, it has heat. Mixing it with ghee or curd rice makes it milder.
How should I store the jar after opening?
Always use a clean, completely dry spoon, keep the pieces under the oil layer, close the lid tightly and keep the jar in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Refrigerate after opening for the best freshness. The jar label carries the shelf-life details for your batch.
How soon will my order reach me?
We prepare your jar after you order. Our shipping policy lists dispatch within 1–2 business days of order confirmation, and standard delivery typically takes 3–6 business days after dispatch, depending on your pincode. You get a tracking link on WhatsApp, SMS and email once it ships.
Can I pay by Cash on Delivery?
Yes, Cash on Delivery is available for serviceable pincodes, with a ₹99 advance paid online and a ₹50 COD handling charge. Paying fully online by UPI or card avoids the COD charge. Checkout shows your exact total before you confirm.
