I love Pickles a lot. In Bengali we say Achar. I love most Raw Mango Pickle. Other than that I’ve had many kinds and my late Mom used to make of Indian Plums, Raw Mango, Whole Red Chilli, Shrimp etc. Today I made with Egg and this is a favourite recipe of mine. I’ve prepared earlier and it’s always a major hit with me. I made in South India style by adding curry leaves.
