Things to know about Aam Ka Achaar Recipe
The Indian Traditional Mango Pickle or Aam Ka Achaar is a spicy, tangy mixture of condiments and mangoes. “Aam” means “mango” and “Achaar” means “pickle” in Hindi. “Achaar” is a loanword of the Persian word “Acar” which means “powdered or salted meats, pickles preserved in salt, vinegar, honey or syrup”.
A mango pickle from North India tastes quite different from a mango pickle from South India. While North Indians use mustard oil, South Indians use sesame oil instead. The Achaar from Telangana and Andra Pradesh are popular for being spicy.
Delhi has been home to pickles for centuries. “Harnarains” is a pickle brand founded in the 1860s in the capital city.
Achaar can be consumed as a side dish or as dips. The condiment is also consumed daily at Indian homes with meals. Often Parathas, a flattened bread is served for breakfast with Achaar. Achaar has many variants. Some are made with lemons, others with mangoes or chili. The Mango pickle is one of the most popular variants of the sidedish.
