Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
Fenugreek seeds – 1/2 tsp (Optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Clean the raw mango and cut into fine cubes. Dry the cut mangoes under the sun for an hour, so that there is no moisture content.
  2. Add salt, turmeric powder and chilli powder onto the cut mangoes.
  3. In a pan, heat oil and temper mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds and hing. Add it to cut mangoes and mix well.

NOTES

  • We don’t refrigerate any pickles. It stays good for 3 – 4 days at room temperature.
  • My mom never used to add fenugreek seeds rather she would dry roast rock salt, mustard seeds and ground it to powder and then add it to pickles. It tastes good.
