‘Achar‘ is a pickle
Name: In Malayalam language,
‘Kadugu’ means mustard seeds
‘Manga‘ is a mango
‘Achar‘ is a pickle
Ingredients: This Instant Mango Pickle uses unripe mangoes, mustard seeds, curry leaves and some spices in its preparation. It also does not require sun-drying, neither does it need much of cooking.
Time taken: The best part of this pickle recipe is that it can be made in less than 15 minutes.
