How much KDH Achar Big Mango Masala do I need per 1 kg of Raw Mango (Kachcha Aam) to make perfect achar at home?

Use 40–50 grams of KDH Achar Big Mango Masala per 1 kg of raw mango (kachcha aam). Mix with 2–3 tablespoons of rock salt (sendha namak) and 4–6 tablespoons of warm mustard oil per kg. Pack into a sterilised glass jar, seal, and sun-cure for 4–7 days shaking gently each day. You can adjust salt after the first 2–3 days of curing.

What whole spices are inside KDH Achar Big Mango Masala and what role does each one play in the pickling process?

KDH Achar Big Mango Masala contains mustard seeds (rai) for pungency and natural preservation, fennel (saunf) for sweetness, fenugreek (methi) for characteristic slight bitterness, red chili for heat, turmeric (haldi) for colour and antibacterial action, and kalonji for the unmistakable aroma of authentic North Indian achar — the same spice balance used in traditional Punjabi pickling for generations.

Can KDH Achar Big Mango Masala be used for mixed vegetable or amla achar, or is it specifically made for Raw Mango (Kachcha Aam) achar only?

KDH Achar Big Mango Masala is specifically formulated and balanced for raw mango (kachcha aam) pickle, where it gives the most authentic results. Many home cooks also use it for mixed vegetable or amla achar, especially when raw mango (kachcha aam) forms part of a mixed pickle. For the most consistent and authentic flavour, using KDH Achar Big Mango Masala for its intended pickle type is always recommended.

How long does Raw Mango (Kachcha Aam) achar made with KDH Achar Big Mango Masala stay fresh without refrigeration?

Properly prepared raw mango (kachcha aam) achar made with KDH Achar Big Mango Masala stays fresh for 12–24 months at room temperature when stored in a tightly sealed glass or ceramic jar. Key factors: sufficient mustard oil covering the pickle, correct salt quantity, thorough sun-curing, and always using a completely dry spoon. Even one drop of water inside the jar can significantly reduce shelf life.
