Ahmed Mango Pickle – 6x1kg

Description

Ahmed Mango Pickle: Tangy South Asian achar for professional kitchens

This is Ahmed Mango Pickle, the mango version of the brand’s traditional oil pickle range, known across South Asia as achar. Firm pieces of raw mango are cured in oil with salt and a warm spice blend, giving a sharp, sour and savoury condiment rather than a sweet chutney. The product covers a full catering case of 6 x 1kg tubs, so a busy kitchen can portion straight from stock and keep spare tubs on the shelf.

Key Features

• Made with raw mango at roughly 60 to 65 percent of the recipe, the leading ingredient in every tub.
• Oil-based achar seasoned with fenugreek, fennel, cumin, turmeric and onion seed.
• High in salt and full flavoured, so a little goes a long way as a side or relish.
• Supplied as a 6 x 1kg case, sized for takeaways, caterers and grocery shelves.
• Suitable for vegetarians according to the Iceland retail listing.

Serving ideas 

Serve as a sharp side with rice and curry, dal or biryani, spread thinly through a wrap or paratha roll, or offer as a relish alongside grilled meats and cheese.

Storage 

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the oil covering the pickle; always use a clean, dry spoon and refrigerate.
