Aam Ka Meetha Achar (Mango Pickle – sweet) is our family’s favourite. I have grown up eating this sweet and tangy mango pickle. Aam Ka Meetha Achar is a simple recipe made with few ingredients. This achar has ingredients that are easily found in the kitchen.
As a child I use to love this pickle with Namak Ajwain Ki Poori. Even my friends loved Aam ka Meeth Achar that I often had in my lunch box. I use to carry extra pickle for my friends as we shared food with each other.
In Rajasthan every house hold makes this pickle. This is my mother’s recipe I am sharing here. This summer I was with her, and so made this pickle under her supervision. It will last for good one year or more if stored in a clean dry jar.
