Hing Ka Achar- Summer season is incomplete with out making few batches of our favourite pickles and preserves.Mango pickle tops the list as it is every ones favourite and easily available and reasonably priced during summer season.There are so many types of mango pickles made with slight difference in each recipes.

If done properly then this aam ka hing ka achar stays easily for minimum a year or till it lasts .You have to take care about choosing good quality of raw mangoes, adding the right amount of salt and adding good quality of strong hing in it and then sun cook it till the extra water content evaporates from it.At the end you have thick gravy left in it not the watery liquid.

As we have not added any oil in this hing ka achar so too much water or less salt can spoil this pickle .But if you want to make it in small quantity then its quite simple -no need to keep it in sun for a week,just marinate the mango pieces in salt and turmeric for a day and then mix asafoetida,chili powder,little oil and jaggary /sugar and enjoy it.

If you want to make khatta metha pickle then add jaggary . If you prefer a sour pickle then skip adding jaggary and just add 1/2 cup  of mustard oil.
