Mango Pickle Recipe | How To Make Instant Mango Pickle At Home With Easy Steps

Mango pickle, also known as Aam Ka Achaar, is a traditional Indian condiment made from green raw mangoes. The mangoes are mixed with spices and salt, then sun-dried until the mixture turns into a thick paste. It’s usually served with plain rice or roti, but can also be used as a dip for snacks and appetizers.

Mango pickle has a sweet and sour flavor that comes from the combination of salt and sugar. It’s often eaten as part of an Indian thali (a platter of rice, dal, meat, vegetable dishes and condiments), or can be served alongside other pickles such as limes or chilies. The mango pickle is believed to aid in digestion due to its high content of spices like turmeric, coriander, red chili powder and black mustard seeds. Additionally, it has high levels of Vitamin C which helps boost immunity.

The mango pickle is considered very important in India as it is said to represent joy and prosperity. It is commonly included in wedding ceremonies where guests are given small jars or pots filled with pickles as a sign of good luck. In some parts of India, it is also used to celebrate festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi and Dussehra by offering them to deities during puja (prayer rituals).

Mango pickles can keep for several months if stored correctly in an airtight container away from direct sunlight or moisture.
