Aam ki Launji is a popular spicy, sweet and sweet pickle from North India. It tastes good with parathas, puri or thepla. 

Summer brings in beautiful, sweet mangoes, the good fruit which we wait throughout the year. Raw mango is versatile to use. I have shared many mango recipes earlier. It is used to make pickles and juice. Raw mango chutney is tasty and makes a good accompaniment with any meal. The raw mango rice is a festive delicacy in South India. 

Today, I am sharing another variety of pickle. It is quite popular in North India. The sweet and sour mango pickle makes a tasty accompaniment with paratha, puri or thepla. You can keep it in the refrigerator for a three days.  It makes use of the  basic spices and is ready in a few minutes.
