What is Green Mango Achar?

Green Mango Achar also known Vegetable Pickle or Hari Mirch ka Achaar, this popular Indian condiment uses hard, unripe mangoes. It boasts a spicy and tangy flavor from a blend of mustard seeds, salt, and mustard oil.

Here’s a brief overview of how Green Mango Achar is made:

• Preparation: Wash, dry, and chop green, unripe mangoes into small pieces.
• Mixing: Mix the chopped mangoes with coarsely ground mustard seeds, salt, and sometimes other spices like turmeric and lemon juice.
• Pickling: Store the mixture in a clean jar and leave it in the sun for a few days to allow the flavors to meld and the mangoes to pickle.

Green Achar often accompanies Indian meals such as dal-rice, curd-rice, veg pulao, and roti-sabzi. It’s a great way to add a spicy kick to your meals!
