MTR a History
MTR dates back to my granny’s times as a small restaurant which served vegetarian cuisine in Bangalore. Over the years, it has evolved to a giant in manufacturing spices, ready to eat food, pickles, ice creams and the lot. In fact, The MTR Masala Dosa is even patented! :O
Range of pickles
There are about 30 varieties of MTR pickle-- 5 Mango varieties, lemon, lime, sweet lime, mixed, garlic, amla and even bittergourd to name a few. Every flavour is more tempting than the other, even to someone like me who has had it from more than 15 years. The tangy mango, lemon and mixed vegetable are the largest selling at remain unmatched to this day.
Accompaniments
The range of pickles can be used to liven up curd rice, pulav, puri, dosa, roti and even bread for that matter. The Indian pickle goes spectacular with anything and MTR is surely the best in the market. The next time you can’t think of an accompaniment with your roti or kulcha, try the mixed vegetable or Mango flavour of the pickle with it, with the promise that it leaves you wanting more.
Price
The range of pickles by MTR is very affordable starting as low as Rs 8 for a 50 gm trial pack to Rs 20 sachets and Rs 45 for 500 gms. This sure is a great effort by MTR in retaining both the tradition and taste of Indian pickles. So next time your palatte wants spicing up, try some pickle for help.
