Spicy Green Mango Achar

Achar is a traditional Indian pickle typically made from vegetables or fruits with a spicy and oily marinade. Spicy mango achar is one of the most popular variations, combining the tart taste of green mango with potent spices and the heat of chili. In Indian cuisine, this dish is an essential accompaniment to rice dishes and breads like naan or paratha. During the aging process, the flavors become even more intense, so the longer it sits, the better it tastes. If you love authentic Indian flavors, you should definitely try this achar!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash the green mangoes thoroughly, peel them, and cut them into small cubes.

    2

    In a dry skillet, toast the mustard seeds, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

    3

    Crush the toasted spices in a mortar and pestle, then mix with the turmeric powder and chili flakes.

    4

    In a small saucepan, heat the sunflower oil. Add the thinly sliced garlic and grated ginger. Fry over low heat until golden brown.

    5

    Add the mango, salt, and vinegar to the spiced oil, and mix well.

    6

    Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until the mango softens slightly and the flavors meld together.

    7

    Transfer the prepared achar to a clean, sealable glass jar and let it cool to room temperature.

    8

    Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop. The longer it sits, the more intense the flavor will be.

    9

    Serve with rice, Indian breads, or grilled dishes.
