    Traditional mango pickle or aam ka achaar is a sour tangy pickle.Most Indian homes make it during summers. Generally, due to the bumper produce of mango trees. We had many mango trees in the garden. Thus, loads of fruit all season. Some raw mangoes would fall on the ground. Hence, we would pickle raw mangoes or  'kachchi keri'  and leave some to make aam panna.

    Pickling ensures nothing goes waste. I love all kinds of mango pickles. Be it sweet Gujarati chunda or sour Andhra thokku. Cut mango both sweet and sour too. Eat the sweet launji with parathas, while sour traditional cut one with curd rice. Each has its own magic. Be it mango garlic pickle or mango ginger. After all, pickle is the spice of life!

    Can anything be pickled?

    You can pickle almost anything under the sun.  Fruits like lemon, mango, tomatoes. Spices like ginger, green and red chilly, garlic, mustard seeds. People even pickle gherkins, cucumbers, olives and beetroots. Any vegetable like carrots, onions, cabbage,turnips & cauliflower.

    Hobby ideas for kids

    Pickling can be a fun activity for kids too. It can help them understand flavors. Give them chopped mangoes. Let them have fun with spices.(Except if you use the red chilly powder).If you want them to make something less spicy, use paprika instead of red chilly powder. Paprika gets you the red color minus the heat. You can also add the chilly in the end instead of giving it to them. They can enjoy mixing other vegetables in the pickle, as these pickle recipes has no cooking involved. There is something magical about pickling. It brings out the best in veggies. Just like time does in all of us. You can also try picking chickpeas with mangoes or with jackfruit. It tastes amazing.
