MANGO PICKLE --MANGA OORUKAI

Home made mango pickle....really easy and yummy 

Let's have a try at your home ,

Mango pickle goes well with curd rice,sambar satham ...I think,There is no need to tell any one  about mango pickle,everyone knows well..

Preparation time. 10 minutes

Ingredients:

Raw mango                3 numbers ( medium size, I prefer  kili mooku manga )

Fenugreek( whole).  1 tsp headed

Cumin seeds               1 tsp headed

Dry red chilies           20 in numbers (medium size ,spicy dry red chilies )

Salt                             3 tsp headed

Method:

1. In a pan dry roast fenugreek and cumin seeds ( together in medium flame)  ,don't  let it         burn , roast             

            it until aroma  comes ,   With in 1-2 minutes it's done . Keep it aside,

2.  In the same pan dry roast the dry red chilies for 2 minutes 

3.  Wash the  whole mangoes and dry it with a towel ,and then cut them into small cubes      ,or your desired size ,I prefer cutting them into small cubes ( size equal to a garlic pod).

5. Powdered the   roasted fenugreek ,cumin seeds ,dry red chilies and salt  in mixer .

6. In a glass bowl ,combine the prepared powder and cut mangoes ,mix well until each pieces are 

     coated .close the bowl with a lid  and leave it for 2hrs ,after   2 hrs  open the bowl and gently mix it ,

     You may notice some water coming out of mangoes , again close and leave it,Atleast  4-5 days it has to follow these process of mixing .

    Atleast 3-4 times a day mix it gently.

    On the second day onwards you can have it for your rice ,if you like that taste.

    I just kept this bowl near my stove for 1 week . And then keep it in fridge ,2  months gone  and last piece  also tastes the same.

   If you feel extra sour taste ,don't worry about it,just add 10-15 small green chilies ( wash,dry and slited) and again leave it outside( not in fridge) and follow the mixing process for 2 days and keep refrigerated ,

Keep small quantity of mango pickles outside for daily use, Refill from fridge whenever you need .

It keeps pickle fresh for Long days .

Aroma and taste from home made pickles are really good and mouth watering.
