Aam Nimbu Mirch Ka Achar in Olive Oil | Homemade Mango, Lemon & Chilli Pickle (500gm)

A Fresh Take on a Classic Indian Tradition

Welcome to a delicious innovation in the world of Indian pickles. Our Aam Nimbu Mirch Ka Achar reimagines a beloved classic for the modern, health-conscious home. This isn't just another homemade pickle; it's a thoughtful fusion where the vibrant, tangy trio of raw mango, zesty lemon, and fiery green chilli meets the smooth, heart-healthy goodness of extra virgin olive oil.

While we deeply respect the robust flavour of traditional mustard oil-based pickles, we created this variant for those seeking a lighter, yet equally flavourful, alternative. Imagine all the mouth-watering tang and spice you love, but with a subtle, fruity undertone that makes this Mix Achar in Olive Oil uniquely versatile. It’s the perfect bridge between your cherished Indian meals and a contemporary lifestyle.

How This Unique Pickle is Crafted: Our Homemade Promise

At Add Me Foods, we believe that the best flavours come from patience and care. Our process honours traditional methods while embracing a healthier ingredient.

1. Selecting the Finest Harvest: We begin with the season's best—firm, sour raw mangoes (aam), fresh, juicy lemons (nimbu), and robust green chillies (mirch). Each vegetable is hand-picked for quality and flavour.

2. The Art of Preparation: The mangoes are cut into perfect pieces, the lemons are quartered, and the chillies are slit to absorb the spices. This careful preparation ensures every piece is ready to hold the complex flavours of the spice blend.

3. A Health-Conscious Marination: Instead of traditional oils, we use high-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Our spices—mustard, cumin, fenugreek, turmeric, and asafoetida—are lightly toasted to unlock their essential aromas before being mixed in.

4. Natural Fermentation & Sun-Bathing: The marinated mixture is then left to ferment naturally. Under the warm sun, the magic happens. The olive oil acts as a preservative and carrier, allowing the flavours of the mango, lemon, and chilli to meld together and deepen, creating a complex homemade pickle without a single artificial preservative.

Why You'll Love Our Aam Nimbu Mirch Achar

This pickle is more than a condiment; it's an experience. Here’s what makes it special:

• A Healthier Gourmet Choice: The switch to olive oil, rich in monounsaturated fats, makes this a conscious choice for your well-being without compromising on the authentic punch of a classic Indian pickle.

• An Explosion of Balanced Flavours: Experience a symphony of tastes—the initial tang from the mango and lemon, followed by the slow-building heat from the chillies, all rounded out by the smooth, fruity notes of the olive oil.

• Unmatched Versatility on Your Plate: While it's a star alongside classic Indian dal-rice, parathas, and khichdi, its unique profile allows it to shine in new ways. Try it with grilled chicken, fish, as a topping for bruschetta, or mixed into quinoa salads for a zesty kick.

• Crafted with Transparency & Trust: As a family-run brand, our kitchen ethos is built on EEAT—Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. This recipe is a result of our experience with traditional pickling, our expertise in blending flavours, and our authoritative commitment to natural food. You can trust that every jar is handmade with integrity.

The Perfect Pairing: How to Enjoy Your Fusion Pickle

Unlock the full potential of your jar with these serving ideas:

• The Classic Companion: Serve a spoonful with a simple meal of dal and steamed rice. The pickle cuts through the comfort of the dal, creating a perfect balance.

• The Paratha's Best Friend: Enjoy it with hot, flaky aloo paratha or plain paratha slathered with butter. The acidity and spice cleanse the palate with every bite.

• The Global Fusion Twist:

  • Mediterranean Touch: Chop a piece of the mango and lemon finely and mix into olive oil to create a vibrant dressing for salads.

  • With Grilled Goods: Serve as a condiment alongside grilled meats or fish. The tangy profile acts as a fantastic alternative to a chutney or salsa.

  • Cheese Board Upgrade: Add a small bowl of this pickle to your cheese platter. It pairs surprisingly well with sharp cheddar and creamy goat cheese.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: How is this different from traditional Aam Ka Achar?
While traditional mango pickles often use mustard oil for a pungent, robust flavour, our version uses extra virgin olive oil. This results in a lighter, fruitier base that lets the natural tang of the mango and lemon shine through, making it a unique and healthier alternative.

Q2: Is this pickle less spicy than regular pickles?
The spiciness level is determined by the green chillies, which provide a significant kick. The olive oil doesn't reduce the heat; it simply provides a different, smoother backdrop for the spices. If you love spice, you will not be disappointed.

Q3: What is the shelf life, and how should I store it?
Your pickle has a long shelf life thanks to the natural preservatives—salt, acidity, and olive oil. For best quality, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always use a clean, dry spoon to take out the pickle to prevent contamination.
