Plain Mango Pickle

Back

Ingredients: Raw Mango 1 Red Chile Powder 2/3 cup Black Mustard Seeds Powder 2/3 cup Salt 2/3 cup Oil 2 cups.

Method:
Wash, clean and pat dry mango. Cut the raw mango with the seed into big chunks. If the mango is not sour enough, reduce the quantity of salt. In a clean mixing bowl, mix raw mango chunks, red chile powder, black mustard seeds powder and salt together with half a cup of oil. Then transfer all the mixed ingredients in to a clean sterilized jar. Leave the jar for 3 days and on 4th day add oil until all mango chunks are completely soaked. Seal the jar with a muslin cloth and leave it 5 - 10 days for the pickle to develop. If taken care to use dry utensils and to not expose to humidity (water spoils the pickle), the pickle stays fresh for a year.
Serve : Makes 1 cup of Plain Mango Pickle.
Note : Grind black mustard seeds with a pinch of salt once the mango pieces are chopped else the powder might turn sour.
