I came to the US a decade ago—-brought a carefully sealed plastic bag of mango pickles in my checked luggage.
It was “triple” packed because the oil will leak beyond the first layer!
As recent as last month—-my sister-in-law shipped a small plastic jar of fat red chilies pickle to Bangalore which I then brought it to San Francisco via a United flight :-)
- indus 3y agoI no longer bring mango pickles from India——I started making it since 2022[0] San Francisco Bay Area Summer. [0] https://twitter.com/1ndus/status/1497310793964027908 https://twitter.com/1ndus/status/1497310793964027908
- yumraj 3y agoTypically, at least in the North, mango pickle is made with green small desi mangoes which are rather sour. I haven’t seen those in the US. The only green mangoes I’ve seen are rather bland and not sour enough.
- indus 3y agoour local store in the bay area has on and off supply of green mangoes. I do not know about the variety but it does the job. It is not as sour as the ones found in India.
