This traditional Indian mango pickle (Aam ka Achar) combines the flavors of spicy mangoes and rich spices which can make you salivate in every bite. To prepare this dish, start off with several pieces of raw mango which have been sun dried followed by marination in some mustard, ground fennel, fenugreek, and red chili powder. Mustard oil is another key to this pickle as it works both as a modern day preservative while lending a unique sharp flavor to the condiment. It’s easy to make but does take time as mango pickle normally takes at least 2 weeks to mature. This delicious mango pickle can go with everything from simply dal and rice or even with parathas, and it can be kept in stores for nearly a year with plenty of care.
