Instant Mango Pickle Recipe | Aam ka Achar | Summer Special

The word Achar brings back so many childhood memories to us. Gone back to the days, when my Mom and Dadi used to make Achar for us and I used to eat kacchi Kairi with salt and red chili. Ah, those were amazing days.

Kacche Aam ka Achar or Raw mango pickle is one thing, which you will find in almost every household in India. Achar is made by “n” number of methods. Every Mom, Grand Mom, Aunt, Nani have their own way of making achar and every achar tastes different 😉 I don’t understand how the taste of achar varies from person to person, but it does.

I absolutely love “Meri Maa ke haath ka achar”. It’s tangy, juicy, spicy and every time I eat it, the word – Aaaaah comes from my mouth. It’s that YUM! 😀 My mom makes a small quantity of this achar as it tastes yummy when eaten fresh. You can make more and store in Achar Jars.

Since Summer is here and Kacchi Kairi/ Raw Mango is available in the market, I thought why not share this easy recipe of making Aam ka Achar at home. This is my Mom’s recipe and it’s the *Instant Aam Ka Achar*, you can eat this achar the very next day. With very few and simple ingredients, anyone can make it and enjoy it with you favorite Parathas, Mathri or you can even put the Achar masala in your Bhel 😛

Let’s get started!
