Lasuda Pickle (Lasuda Achar) 

Lasuda achar is a traditional North Indian pickle made from raw lasuda (also known as gunda or glue berry). It has a bold, tangy, and spicy flavor. The fruit is lightly cooked to remove its natural stickiness, then mixed with mustard oil and aromatic spices. As it matures, the lasuda absorbs the spices and becomes soft, juicy, and intensely flavorful.
