    Mango season is here as the sun starts to shine hot and bright. Green raw mangoes and ripe mangoes tickle taste buds in numerous ways. Be it paneer paratha, gobi paratha or aloo paratha with simple mango pickle for breakfast. Simple meal like poori aloo and achar is common meal for train journeys across North India.Traditional mango pickle or aam ka achar is a sour tangy pickle. Most Indian homes make pickled green mangoes during summers because of the bumper produce of mango trees. We had many mango tree in the garden. Thus, loads of fruit all season. Some fresh raw mangoes would fall on the ground. Hence, we would pickle raw mangoes or kachchi keri after sun drying and leave some to make aam panna. Mango rice 

    Pickling ensures nothing goes to waste. I love all kinds of instant pickle recipes of Indian cuisine. Be it sweet Gujarati chunda or sour south Indian pickle, Andhra thokku. Cut mango both sweet and sour too. Eat the sweet launji with parathas, while sour traditional cut avakaya one with curd rice. Each has its own magic. Be it mango garlic pickle or mango ginger. Whether it is Punjabi mango pickle recipe or Sindhi mango chickpea pickle. aam ka achaar makes any Indian meal complete. After all, pickle is the spice of life!

    Hobby ideas for kids

    Pickling can be a fun activity for kids too. It can help them understand flavors. Give them chopped fruit to make different mango pickles. 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 chili powder. Paprika gets you the red color minus the heat. You can also add the chili in the end instead of giving it to them. They can enjoy mixing other vegetables in the pickle, as these pickle recipes have no cooking involved. 

    There is something magical about homemade pickle. Indian achar brings out the best in veggies and fruits. This is also true for prawns, chicken etc. they say. Just like time does in all of us. You can also try picking chickpeas with mangoes or with jackfruit. It tastes amazing.
