Mother's Recipe mixed pickle in a 300 g glass jar with a red cap, a spiced mixed vegetable achar for curry plates, parathas and rice dishes.
Mother's Recipe mixed pickle comes in a clear glass jar with a red screw cap, so the deep red, oil-coated pickle shows through the sides. The front label is red and yellow, with the Mother's Recipe name in a yellow banner and the word Mixed in large letters above Pickle, next to pictures of a green mango, a lime half and a red chilli. Lifestyle photos show a cook spooning the pickle from a white ceramic crock into small steel bowls, and a bowl of mixed pickle with lime wedges, carrot sticks, green chillies and mustard seeds beside a stack of flaky parathas. As general background, South Asian pickles, known as achar among other names, are pickled and often highly spiced condiments made from a variety of vegetables and fruits preserved in brine, vinegar, edible oils, and South Asian spices. Commonly, restaurants serve a small spoonful on the side of thalis, biryani and dal plates.
