    You can consider the pickles as tongue-tickling delights. It has a combination of many flavors that will burst in your mouth. And you will ask for more and more.

    Ingredients used for sweet mango pickle:

    • Raw mangoes: In India, special raw green mango verity (e.g. rajapuri or small tender baby mangoes) are easily available during the season. Here in USA, we get just one kind of big green raw mangoes available all year around (you can see the pic below in steps).

    • Mustard seeds
    • Fenugreek seeds
    • Jaggery: depending on the color of your jaggery, the color of end pickle may vary.

    • Red chili powder: adding very little just to give the hint of spicy taste.
    • Salt

    The shelf life of Instant Mango Pickle:

    • It stays good in the refrigerator for 6 months if followed below tips.
    • Store the pickle in a clean, dry (moisture-free) glass jar or container. A day before wash the jar well, let it dry out completely. You can keep under the sun for an hour.
    • Always use a clean, dry spoon to take the pickle.
    • If you have made the big batch then store some pickle in a small jar for everyday use. So you don’t need to open the big jar every day and this way it increases its shelf life.

    Because this instant mango pickle is just for me (hubby doesn’t eat pickles, huh!!) I have made a small batch. But you can double, triple or increase the amount as required.

      When using the mangoes, are they ripe or unripened? Do they need to be soft?

        use unripe mangoes which are hard (not soft at all) and have green skin.
        If you are familiar green raw mangoes used for thai green mango salad.
