Raw Mango Pickle

By Maya bhat -

Hello Friends,

Mango... aah.. name itself makes us feel like eating be it Raw or ripen.

Mango is national fruit,There are over 100 varieties of mango's in India, in a range of colors, sizes, and shapes. Common in the tropical part of the world, mangos are savored for their sweet juice and bright colors. People in India eat mango's ripe, or prepare them green as pickles, eat raw with salt, chilly powder or chutneys. They are rich in vitamin A, C, and D.

So today I am going to tell a  simple and easy recipe for preparation of mango pickle. Actually this recipe is from my father in law, he loves cooking. I had prepared it for lunch and believe me it was dam tasty.....

Here it goes;


Ingredients-
Raw mango- 1, chopped in small pieces
Mustard seeds- 3 spoons,ground to powder
Methi/Fenugreek seeds- 5 spoons, fried raw, and grind to powder
Salt to taste
Red chilles- depends upon spice required- around 8-9, powder them
Oil- 4tsp
  • You can either powder mustard seeds, methi and red chillies separately or together
Method-
Add all the powders, pinch of hing/asafoetida , salt and oil to the cut mango pieces and mix well. Keep it aside for around 3 hrs before use so that all the powder gets mixed properly to the mango and can be served at short time for lunch, dinner etc.... As I said its simple and easy... 

This can be kept for a week............
Enjoy. Will be back soon with more!!!! bye.....................
