Achar (Pickle)

AoA

If there is something in Indian/Pakistani cuisine I looooove is Achar (pickle). You find garlic pickle, mixed pickle, chili pickle but the most popular is mango pickle. In Pakistan you have two companies that make achar: National and Shan. But  you can buy in bulk in some markets and baazars. It is so delicious. You can mix it with your food or simply eat it with paratha (bread) like they eat here for breakfast for example.
