Notes
For this pickle buy mangoes that have no fiber and have a lot of pulp with a small seed.If you cannot put achaar in sunlight, due to any reason, make sure to add some extra oil so that the achaar is fully submerged in it. The achaar will take a little longer to get ready, through this process.Use a clean dry spoon so that there is no moisture when you take the pickle out of the bottle.For easier and regular usage, transfer little amounts of the Aam Ka Achaar to a smaller jar.
