मिक्स अचार — mixed pickle in a 500 g jar from Moms Tree in Kamola, Uttarakhand, with several vegetables and fruits pickled together in one jar.
A mixed achar gives a little of everything in each spoonful: something sour, something crunchy, something hot. It is the pickle for a family that cannot agree on one, and it goes with parathas, dal-rice, khichdi and a picnic lunch alike.
The listing does not name every ingredient, so read the label if anyone avoids a particular vegetable. Keep the jar tightly closed, out of direct sun, and the contents covered with oil.

Hill achaar is sour, salty and pungent from mustard oil, and usually less sweet than bottled brands. Galgal and lemon pickles are sharp and bitter-edged, lingda keeps a green crunch, and chutneys such as bhang ki chutney are nutty and tangy.
A small spoon goes on the side of every plate: with dal and rice, with parathas and madua roti, with aloo ke gutke and with khichdi. Chutneys are also stirred into raita or eaten with roasted bhatt as a snack.
Keep the pieces under the oil and the lid tightly closed, out of direct sun. Always use a dry, clean spoon. Fresh chutneys go in the fridge once opened, and in very humid weather the fridge is a safe place for an opened pickle jar too.
Oil-and-salt pickles usually keep for months sealed; fresh chutneys keep for much less once opened. The jar's label gives the shop's own best-before date.
Mustard oil can seep past a lid on a warm journey, especially if the jar is filled to the top. Wipe the jar, check the pieces are still under oil, and top up with a little mustard oil if needed.
Hill pickles are made with raw mustard oil, more salt and less sugar than most bottled brands, and are sunned rather than cooked. The sharpness mellows a little after a week or two once opened.
If it is fuzzy or smells off, it is mould, usually from a wet spoon or a piece above the oil, and the jar should be thrown away. Clouding in the oil itself in cold weather is just the oil thickening and clears when it warms.
