About Aam ka Achaar Recipe
There are countless possible spice and pickle powder combinations that can be used to make aam ka achaar or mango pickles. My favourite dish is Avakkai Oorugai from the south of India, but I also long for Rajasthani keri ka achar, particularly to accompany masala Rotis or theplas. I also adore curd rice with the same.
The best thing about this pickle is that it is ready in just two days, however, I prefer to wait until the mangoes are all extremely soft but still have a bite because the aroma of the pickle masala is so potent that it becomes overpowering.
This season, make the most of the raw mangoes available by making a delightful homemade pickle. Even though mango pickles are widely accessible in stores during the summer, homemade achaars or pickles have a very unique flavour.
