For Recipe in Hindi- आम का मीठा अचार
There are so many ways in which you can eat sweet mango pickle. I like to prefer eating my aam ka achar with puri, parantha, roti as well as jam on bread. The taste of sweet and sour mango pickle is very flavorful.
The recipe of this Sweet mango pickle is adopted from Gujarat but is very popular in Rajasthan and the rest of the north India. The speciality of this mango pickle is that it does not contain any oil in its recipe.
Because I am a Marwari, you can always find many types of pickles in my kitchen like Mango pickle (aam ka khatta achar), grated mango pickle (aam ka lacha achar), kair ka achar, gonde ka achar, and many more. So I am sharing the same age old recipe that my mother and my mother in law used to follow.
