Achar

This homemade spicy mango pickle, also known as achar, is a tangy and flavorful condiment that pairs well with Indian meals.

Ingredients - Serves 10

In a dry pan, roast the mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds until fragrant. Let them cool, then grind them into a fine powder.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, mustard-fenugreek powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, asafoetida, salt, mustard oil, vinegar, and grated jaggery (if using). Mix well to coat the mangoes evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a clean, sterilized jar and press it down firmly to remove any air bubbles.
Cover the jar with a clean cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 days, allowing the flavors to develop.
After 2-3 days, give the jar a gentle shake to mix the ingredients. Your spicy mango pickle (achar) is now ready to be enjoyed!
Store the pickle in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
