Achcharu


Achcharu is one of my favourite snacks. When we were kids we did not crave for candy or chocolate bars. We loved eating spicy achcharu bought from the street vendor after school.As I have decided to name my blog on my favourite food, I thought of posting about Achcharu first.

Ingredients
2 unripe mangoes cut lengthwise
1/2 pineapple cut into cubes
10-15 boiled veralu (tropical olives)
10-15 lovi-lovi
10-15 nelli (amla)
2 unripe ambarella (June plum)
1 unripe woodapple scraped
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoon chillie powder
1 tablespoon pepper powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar

Recipe

Mix all ingredients together from a wooden spoon in a ceramic bowl. When storing avoid packing in metal containers as the vinegar and the acid will erode the metal. Use ceramic, wooden or plastic.
