For anyone else looking to try Indian/Pakistani pickles. They are made of various fruits and veggies. Mango is the most popular one in Pakistan. Others include carrot, lemon, green pepper, onion and some other ones.

Pickle is dipped and preserved in oil. My family has made mango pickle at home many time over the years. Like GP it is eaten in span of months. It can be very sour. Here in UK, we have found Ahmad Foods pickles to be the best choice so far.

I have seen on TV that one of the favourite Indian meals is Paratha and Pickle. Is it a common meal?



Or seafood, in some (coastal) parts of the country[1].

I’ve had shrimp pickle from Andhra Pradesh, it’s delicious but doesn’t seem to be as well known.

Shrimp and chicken pickle too! They don’t keep as long, sadly


My grandmother use to tell about beef pickle but didn't make it when I req. It was a difficult one. Would love to try meat pickle someday.


I've had chicken and mutton pickles, you can get them at certain Indian restaurants and stores, often in the refrigerator section.


You can usually cook them yourself too see for example Shan masala “Achar Gosht”, or for another culture’s take Polish zupa ogórkowa with chicken.


I’ve had pickled pork from Goa before.


> I have seen on TV that one of the favourite Indian meals is Paratha and Pickle. Is it a common meal?

It's certainly not uncommon, though I think it's often paired (for good reason) with yoghurt. It's more of a breakfast/snack meal than a full lunch meal though, however parathas & pickles can be components of a full meal too.


Yogurt goes with stuffed parathas.

Achaar goes with both plain paratha as well as stuffed parathas.


Garlic pickle is also amazing!
