If you are planning a trip and need something that won't leak in your bag, ask me about the dry mango pickle, which uses minimal oil but keeps that same tangy, spicy punch. ### The Traditional Process I do not believe in quick shortcuts. The journey of these mango pickles starts when the raw mangoes arrive in the summer. I carefully select Ladua kairi for its fleshy texture and natural sourness. Each batch is hand-cut, deseeded, and marinated in a robust spice blend of rai (mustard seeds), saunf (fennel), methi (fenugreek), and kalonji. The deep, appetizing red hue comes purely from high-quality Kashmiri chilli powder, not artificial colouring. ### Why My Achaar Stays Fresh Because these are completely preservative-free, the secret to longevity lies in the preparation. I age them in traditional earthen jars, or barnis, which allows the flavours to deepen naturally over time. Mustard oil acts as a natural barrier to keep the pickle safe and fresh for months. ### Choosing Your Perfect Jar * **Classic Spicy Khatti Kairi:** This is the staple for every meal. It uses ample Kachi Ghani mustard oil, making it rich, tangy, and perfect for parathas or daily rice. * **Travel-Friendly Dry Pickle:** If you want that classic flavour without the oiliness, my dry version is the solution. It is packed specifically to handle travel, so you can carry a piece of home wherever you go. ### A Quick Storage Tip Since I use zero vinegar or sodium benzoate, please always use a clean, dry spoon when serving. Keeping the lid airtight after every use will ensure the pickle stays as fresh as the day it was jarred. ## About Raina Agarwal Cooking is my happy place, hands messy and heart full. I make every single jar of these mango pickles myself, sticking to the old-school recipes my dadi taught me.
