🥭 The Golden Shred: Why Baya India’s Grated Mango Pickle in Mustard Oil is the Ultimate Spreadable Delight! ✨
Share
While chunky mango pickles have their own charm, there is something incredibly comforting about Grated Mango Pickle (also known as Aam ka Lacha). It is the fine, golden shreds of tart mango, infused with spices and soaked in pungent mustard oil, that make this pickle a favorite for those who want flavor in every single bite. At Baya India, we grate our mangoes by hand to preserve their texture, creating a "masala-heavy" relish that is as versatile as a chutney but as robust as a traditional pickle. 🏺🥭🔥
The Alchemy of the Hand-Grated Crunch 🏆
Making a grated pickle is an art of texture. Unlike chunks, shreds absorb spices instantly, but they require careful sun-curing to remain crunchy:
The Artisanal Grate: We start with tart, firm raw mangoes and grate them into thick, uniform shreds. This "Lacha" style ensures that the mango doesn't turn into a paste but keeps its satisfying texture. 🥭✅
The Spice Saturation: Because the surface area is higher, every single strand of mango gets coated in our secret blend of spices. The result? An explosion of flavor in every spoonful. 🧂👌
The Sun-Drenched Drying: We spread the grated mango with turmeric and salt under the bright Indian Sun. This removes excess moisture, ensuring the pickle stays fresh and the mango shreds stay "snappy." ☀️🌬️
The Mustard Oil Maturation: We finish by submerging the sun-cured shreds in 100% Pure Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil. The oil acts as a golden carrier, delivering the smoky heat of the spices into the heart of the mango. ☀️🏺
✨ The Baya India Standard: Pure & Honest ☀️
Our Grated Mango Pickle is a "Clean Label" champion—crafted for those who love an intense, spice-forward experience.

Perfectly Spreadable: Unlike large chunks, the grated texture makes it easy to spread on breads, parathas, or even crackers. 🍞🍯
Normal Salt for Sharp Balance: We use normal salt to heighten the natural tanginess of the mango and provide a clean savory profile. 🧂🚫
