Mango Pickle
Pickles are a traditional recipe. They have a long history and a strong root. Usually, pickles are made by processing for many days. It is almost like wine. It tastes good as it ages. This Instant Mango pickle is a shortcut for the pickle craving. We just do a quick tempering, add the spices and finish off the pickle.
Ingredients
Mango - Use fresh tender raw mango. Make sure the mangoes are not too sour and not ripe. Fresh raw mango suits best for the pickle.
Sesame Oil - When it comes to pickles, we go for sesame oil without any thoughts. It is for the flavor and the long shelf life of the pickle.
Mustard, Cumin, Hing - We just add the normal tempering ingredients to the pickle and hing is mandatory.
Dry Red chili, Curry Leaves - Again, we add red chili and curry leaves for flavor.
Spice powders - Just the basic spice powders go into the pickle. Red Chilli powder, Turmeric powder, and Salt to taste.
Fenugreek Powder - So this has a special mention. It brings in the pickle taste and this is the secret ingredient for the pickle.
