Punjabi Mango Pickle, or Aam ka Achar, stands apart from the Andhra or South Indian mango pickles in terms of its preparation and flavor. This popular pickle complements parathas beautifully and has a unique taste profile. Unlike the South Indian pickles, which often use a variety of spices and oils, Punjabi Mango Pickle is traditionally made with Indian spices and mustard oil. However, in my version, I\u2019ve substituted mustard oil with gingelly oil (sesame oil), which imparts a distinct flavor and aroma to the pickle.<\/p>\r\n

Preparation and Characteristics<\/h2>\r\n

Punjabi Mango Pickle features a blend of Indian spices and is known for its less spicy and more aromatic profile compared to its South Indian counterparts. The preparation is relatively quick, but the key steps involve drying the mango pieces thoroughly and preparing the pickle masala. This pickle has a shelf life of up to one year, making it a long-lasting addition to your pantry.<\/p>\r\n

Making the Pickle<\/h2>\r\n
    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Drying the Mango Pieces:<\/strong> Start by thoroughly drying the mango pieces. This step is crucial as it helps to preserve the mango and enhance the flavor of the pickle.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Preparing the Pickle Masala:<\/strong> The masala is made from a blend of Indian spices, which gives the pickle its characteristic taste.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    Combining Ingredients:<\/strong> Mix the dried mango pieces with the prepared masala and gingelly oil.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    The result is a less spicy yet flavorful pickle that pairs exceptionally well with parathas and other Indian breads. I was inspired to make this pickle after tasting a friend’s North Indian version, and it has become a favorite in my kitchen. Enjoy the unique flavor of this Punjabi Mango Pickle and its delightful aroma that sets it apart from other regional varieties!<\/p>\r\n

    Punjabi Mango pickle or Aam ka achar preparation is completely different from the Andhra style or South Indian mango pickle. It is a very popular pickle that goes well with parathas. There are so many varieties of mango pickle and each has its own uniqueness. Punjabi Mango pickle is made with Indian spices and mustard oil. But I have replaced the mustard oil with gingelley oil. This pickle has a distinct flavour and aroma when compared with South Indian pickles. I have a friend from North India and when she made this pickle, I loved it. This is less spicy and has a shelf life of one year.\u00a0 It will take less time to make this pickle. The main step is in drying the mango pieces and making the pickle masala.<\/span>
