The Magic of Kerala Pickles
In Kerala, no meal is truly complete without a small bowl of achar (pickle) on the side. Intensely flavored, tangy, and spiced, Kerala pickles are made to be savored in small amounts — a little goes a long way. From the sharp bite of raw mango to the fiery heat of lime pickle, these condiments have been perfected over generations in Kerala kitchens.
Brahmins Tender Mango Pickle captures that authentic Kerala achar flavor — made with young, unripe mangoes, mustard, and a bold blend of spices. It’s the perfect accompaniment to rice, curd rice, paratha, or even a simple piece of bread.
How to Build a Kerala Pickle Platter
A pickle platter is a beautiful way to serve achar as part of a larger South Indian spread. Here’s how to put one together:
What You Need
- Brahmins Tender Mango Pickle — the star of the platter
- Steamed white rice or curd rice
- Crispy Kozhikoden’s Kerala Pappadam
- Plain yogurt (curd)
- Sliced raw onion and green chili
- Fresh curry leaves for garnish
Assembling the Platter
- Choose your base: Arrange small bowls or banana leaf sections on a large plate or tray.
- Add the pickle: Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of Brahmins Tender Mango Pickle into a small bowl. A little goes a long way — the flavor is bold and concentrated.
- Add accompaniments: Place a small mound of steamed rice, a dollop of yogurt, and a few slices of raw onion alongside the pickle.
- Add pappadam: Arrange 2–3 freshly fried or roasted Kerala Pappadam on the side for crunch.
- Garnish: Finish with a few fresh curry leaves for color and aroma.
Classic Ways to Enjoy Kerala Mango Pickle

- With paratha or chapati: Spread a thin layer of mango pickle on warm paratha for a quick, satisfying snack.
- With idiyappam: A small side of mango pickle alongside idiyappam and coconut milk adds a tangy contrast.
