Adamanga Achar (dry Mango Pickle)
Like most of the home makers in Kerala, my mom also prepares adamanga achar during the mango season so that it could be used in times when we yearn for mangoes. This recipe will certainly create a nostalgic mood to me about my childhood days. The mango slices are first dried in the sun to make this recipe. These dried mango pieces are called adamanga and hence this recipe is called adamanga achar.
