No Fuss mango pickle

One of the first pickles that I made. It is very popular in Uttar Pradesh and is called “aam ka heeng wala achar” , as the heeng ( asafoetida ) has a dominant flavour , not overpowering though. This is a pickle that anyone who has a learner licence in the kitchen can make. I call it No Fuss mango Pickle because it requires just four ingredients and is takes hardly any time. The most time is taken to wash , wipe and cut mangoes, once that is done , it only takes 5 minutes. Few things that need to…

Sweet & Sour Mango Relish

Mangoes, Mangoes & more mangoes. I go crazy during mango season. There is so much that can be done with mangoes , raw & ripe both, other than enjoying them as is of-course. During summers, just before the rains start, my mother used to plan making pickles & relish with raw mango. Relish and pickles are an essential part of the Indian meal. Most Indian households will have a couple of pickles and chutneys stocked up in jars in the kitchen. This relish or chutney comes to the rescue on the days when you want a quick meal. Hot tea,…

Mango Iced Tea

Flavoured tea, of any flavour is an easy way to impress anyone. It is a refreshing welcome drink for guests as well as for the husband 😉 , after he comes back from work. With mercury soaring high in most parts of the country, drinks with fruits are a good way to stay hydrated. This is definitely a healthier and wallet-friendly alternative to packaged drinks. Mango is one fruit that everyone likes, though each one has a favourite variety. I have sat through arguments when one person from Kolkatta would say Langda is best, a person from Lucknow will say…

Aam Ki Launji – Raw Mango Relish

No Indian meal is complete without pickles and relish. Aam ki launji is a sweet and sour relish from North Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. It is made with a few spices and is quick & easy to make. Having spent my childhood in eastern Uttar Pradesh, I came across many dishes that required panch phoran. As the name suggests it is a mix of five spices. Unlike other mix of spices , panch phoran is a mix of whole spices, all of which are seeds, in equal quantities. I use lesser fenugreek seeds for milder taste and…

Radish and Raw Mango Salad

Salad is a must for Lunch and dinner for me. While lemon, salt and pepper are a regular dressing for my cucumber tomato salad, I make it a little interesting over the weekends. One salad that goes well with the Indian fare is grated radish salad ( or lachha , as it is called in Hindi). I gave a little twist to the traditional grated radish salad by adding grated raw mango, instead of lemon. Talking of Radish, are you aware about a place called Jaunpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. I have lived in Jaunpur for…

Aam Panna

In North India as the temperature soars high the roads would get deserted. Most people try to avoid commuting or being out doors in the afternoon, and for the few who are on the roads, Aam Panna vendors are a blessing. You will spot people selling Aam Panna from Big earthen pots covered with red cloth with boiled mangoes tied around the top, on a cart. Aam Panna is an excellent cooler. Not only does it quench thirst but good source of Vitamins and iron. It is also considered good for digestion. Mom used to give it to us after…
