Mothers Recipe Mixed Pickle

Mother's Recipe Mixed Pickle — what it is, what’s inside, how it tastes and how people typically use it.

?? What is “Mother’s Recipe Mixed Pickle”

Mother’s Recipe Mixed Pickle is a ready?made Indian mixed vegetable fruits/vegetable “achar/achar?style pickle.” The pickle combines a variety of vegetables and fruits (or their pieces) preserved with spices, salt, and oil.

It’s manufactured and packaged so you don’t need to prepare or ferment anything — just open the jar and it’s ready to serve.

?? Typical Ingredients & What’s Inside

According to the official description and retail?site info, the mixed pickle contains:

A mix of vegetables / fruits & vegetable pieces — commonly mango, lime, carrot, green chillies, and sometimes seasonal vegetables/fruit pieces.

Salt and edible oil (commonly cottonseed or other edible vegetable oil).

Spices and condiments: chili powder, mustard, fenugreek, turmeric, asafoetida (hing), sometimes other Indian spices — giving the pickle its typical tangy, spicy, aromatic flavour.

Acidity regulator / preservative (INS 260 / acetic acid) — used for preservation and to maintain tanginess.

Because of this blend, the pickle delivers a complex flavour profile: spicy, tangy / sour, salty, slightly pungent (from spices/asafoetida), and aromatic.

??? How It’s Typically Used — What to Eat With It

Mixed pickle is not eaten on its own in large quantities — it's used as a condiment / accompaniment. Common ways people eat it:

With plain rice + dal / sabzi — 1–2 teaspoons of pickle add a burst of flavour and make a simple meal more satisfying.

With rotis / parathas / chapatis — the tangy?spicy pickle complements Indian breads well.

With curd / curd?rice / khichdi / plain meals — as a flavour enhancer.

As a side with snacks — sometimes with snacks or simple meals to add a spicy?tangy kick.

Because the pickle is quite strong in flavour (salt, spices, tanginess), a small amount per meal is usually enough — having too much can overwhelm the palate.

? What Makes It Popular / Strengths

Convenience – It’s ready to eat. No need to prepare or wait for fermentation. That saves a lot of time, especially for busy households.

Authentic Indian flavour – The mix of vegetables/fruits + traditional spices tries to replicate nostalgic “home?style achar” flavour, familiar to many Indian kitchens.

Versatility – Works with a wide variety of meals: rice, dal, breads, light meals or snacks.

Availability & Shelf?stability – As a branded pickle with preservatives & oil/salt?based preservation, it lasts for a good time and is easy to store (in a jar/preserved form).

?? What to Keep in Mind

It’s salty, spicy, and tangy — so even though a mix?pickle is tempting, it’s best to use small amounts (1–2 teaspoons per meal) rather than eat large portions.

Because of the oil, salt and preservatives, it’s more of a condiment, not a “healthy salad/vegetable” in the nutritional sense. Use moderately if measuring sodium/fat intake.

After opening, always use a clean, dry spoon to take out pickle — moisture or contamination can spoil it faster.

Store in a cool, dry place (or refrigerate if recommended) to preserve freshness and prevent spoilage.
