Mango Achar
Raw mango, full volume.
We use raw, unripe mangoes here, not the sweet kind. They're grated or sliced thin, mixed with mustard oil, fenugreek, and chili, then left to sit until the flavors actually mean something. Tart first, heat second.

The Story Behind It
Aamaa's version used a wooden grater that's older than she is. We use stainless steel now. The ratio of mustard oil to mango is the one thing that hasn't changed.

The mustard oil makes it
Sharp and tangy, not overly oily. Great with rice or just on toast, weirdly.

As good as home
Ordered this and the lemon achar together. This one disappeared first.
