This fine Sunday on 10th, mom decided to make her delicacy "Aam ka Achaar" - ( its a traditional preparation of Indian Mango pickle which stays good for more than 12 months)
As it was raining the day before (the first rain of the season), mom said this is the best time to prepare Achaar as it stays better for longer duration when made during the first rain. So, we went shopping for Raw mangoes at about 7am, being a Sunday it was very busy at weekly Market (Gunj sabji mandi). I was enjoying the ambiance, as this was the same place I was born & grew in my teens. Embarked all memories we shopped for about 3Kgs of Mangoes to prepare about 5Kgs of Pickle.
As a picture speaks thousand words, (a memory through pictures) :

As a picture speaks thousand words, (a memory through pictures) :
1. Gunj Mata Temple (Durga Temple) right opposite to our ancestors home built by our grand-father. Still remember P.O box no 12.
2. Sorting the pieces to remove any seed, as this will spoil the pickle & drying up the mango pieces
3. The Spices & Oil mix
4. Final turnover & ready to be mixed
5. ACHAAR
