Punjabi mango pickle | aam ka achar is a popular pickle recipe of North India, usually made in summer season and stored for a year. I have posted mango thokku, avakkai mango pickle recipe . This aam ka achaar is a north indian style of mango pickle, which i have tasted in many Indian restaurants here. Generally it is served with parathas. But it goes well with our south indian curd rice too. One my friend’s mother in law passed on this recipe to me and it turned out so nice and tasted the same as we get in restaurants.

Notes:
  1. The measurement of salt depends on the sourness of the mango. So add accordingly.
  2. If you want the pickle more spicy add little more redchili powder.
  3. Ensure that there is no moisture in the mango before adding spices.
  4. Also ensure the jar which you are storing the mangoes is completely dry.
  5. The mustard oil has a acquired pungent smell, you can replace it with sesame oil of some people add cooking oil too.
  6. Even you can heat the mustard oil well and add to the pickle, it reduces the smell to some extent.
