Moradabad wali super tasty aam ki launzi.

Few days back I saw famous vlogger Lata Jain Didi’s aam ki launzi recipe on youtube. This recipe is very close to my heart actually. Since childhood with hot piping desi ghee ka paranthas we used to lick our fingers with this summers delight instant pickle.

I kept reminding myself to make it sometime for sure. And finally I made it. Big thanks to Lata Jain Didi for digging out the forgotten recipes-from time to time and encourage us to do something creative in kitchen.

Aam ki launzi is a famous quick to made recipe and you won’t trust me if I tell you that in Uttar Pradesh each city got their own version of making this very simple but amazingly tasty pickle.

Meerut people add a pinch of green cardamom to this aam ki launji, Mujjafarnagar people like to make this with spiced jaggery, Bareilly version contains little all spices(garam masala), Rampuri launji contains more sugar and Allahabad version contains black salt in it.
