Tender Tamarind, Chintakaya
చింతకాయ — చిన్న ముక్క
Chintakaya is the tender tamarind pod, pickled when it is still pale. It is sourer than a spoon of tamarind water. Serve one piece with hot rice and ghee. People who grew up with it also eat a sliver with pulihora, but do not stir it through the pulihora or the sour will shout.
Keep the oil over the pods. This pickle does not need onion, coriander or a tadka at the table.
