Buvi's CookBook: Instant Mango Pickle

Mango Pickle is one of the mouthwatering Indian pickle and of course it's my all time favorite side dish. It goes good with curd rice and rice kanji and sometimes as a dip with Corn, Tortilla chips.

I got this recipe from one of my Malayalam friends. Lets see how to prepare a quick mango pickle.

Ingredients:

Green mango - 1 (medium sized)
Mustard seeds - 2.5 tsp
Fenugreek seeds - 1/2 tsp
Red Chilli Powder - 3 tsp
Curry Leaves - 2 to 3 strands
Salt - As needed
Oil - 2 tsp

Preparation time: 30 mins

Method:

Cut the mango into square pieces. Add salt to the cut mango pieces and set aside for about 30 minutes.

Mix 2 tsp of mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds together and powder it. Its your choice to powder into a fine coarse or a medium textured mixture.I used a hand ural.

Now, heat oil in a pan and once the oil is heated, add mustard seeds. Once the mustard seeds splutter, add the powdered mustard and fenugreek mix to the oil. Then add chilli powder, curry leaves and salt required.

After 5 seconds, add the cut mango pieces into the pan and mix until all the masala gets mixed with the mango well.
