ACHAR PACHRANGA

I didn't eat Indian food until I was a graduate student working for a professor originally from Delhi who loved to cook. I was an immediate convert, and have always wanted to find a mixed pickle similar to the stuff he would make. This isn't it, but it's the best I've ever bought. The chunks of mango are large with very little seed husk, the limes and carrots and chilis are nicely cut and in good proportion, the addition of lotus root is unique from my experience but adds a great crunch. The spice blend is so fine -- hot, but not overwhelming, The fenugreek and mustard flavors are clean and clear. The bitter mango is nicely balanced by the sour lime. I'm not sure I'll need to buy anything else.I've read some of the other lower ratings, and many of them indicate the product came in a plastic jar. The product I ordered was shown in a can, and delivered in a can. I will order this again, and if I find that the quality changes, I will certainly update my review

I grew up in a small town which was about 25 miles from where Achar Pachranga is made. No surprise, it was one of the regular item on our dinning table. I was thrilled to find it on Amazon. This is a multi (5) vegetable pickle in oil with spices.What delighted me the most is that quality and taste is exactly what I remember. Highly recommended to add taste and flavor to your Indian meal. There are two similar brands on Amazon, please buy the one made in Panipat Haryana. Sanjay Saigal

This achar is very much like the pickle offered in a lot of the Indian restaurants I've been to. It's a very flavorful recipe and not incredibly greasy. It's a heavy flavor for certain but I enjoy it, particularly with chicken. I love chicken.

The photo shows a plastic container. This what I believed that ordered. I received a small 28 oz can. This product used to be available in a larger can. The contents are good.

This is some of the best Chutney available! Same stuff served in 2 different Indian restaurants we frequent monthly! After we open it we transfer it into a jar so you can keep it fresh! Hard to find! If you're looking for powerful flavor this is it!!!

This is, in my opinion, the best Indian pickle you'll find. When I open the can I transfer it to a glass jar and it keeps in the refrigerator for months. In fact, I'm not sure it ever goes bad. Some reviewers report getting a plastic container, but mine was the old metal can. Sadly, the can was dented. I reported it to the seller, but they said it would be fine. I sure hope so.

Sour, spicey, bitter, briney Indian goodness. I don't want to eat Indian dishes without it. It made me say "ridiculous" with every bite!

Please, please, please don't waste your 18 bucks on these pickles. I threw away the container because it is not edible. It is so salty that it is harmful for anyone's health and especially if you have blood pressure problems. You cannot taste the vegetables. I've eaten pickles all my life and know the difference between good and bad ones. This does not even fit into the bad category. It is in the "worst" category. It is shameful that this product costs so much and delivers nothing good for you.
