Instant Mango Pickle / Quick Mango Pickle / Raw Mango Pickle

After a long time I am so happy to find some Raw Mangoes Here in Indian Store. The raw mangoes which we get here in local grocery stores will not be firm, tangy n doesn't taste great. But a month back during my visit to Patel Brothers(Indian Grocery store) saw this green Raw mangoes. Mangoes were sturdy so tangy n tasted so good like the one we get in India. I was so happy to see and bought few mangoes. we ate all the mangoes as such with salt n chilli powder, me n H love it that way more. As we get it after a long time we could not control our self n had it as salad n snack :) Then i wanted to make few mango recipes for blog and bought 2-3 lbs and tried few recipes to share here in my space.

Here comes the first recipe, Instant Mango Pickle. This pickle is one of the easy pickle that u can make it in a jiffy. This pickle is common in all special functions like Wedding, Baby Shower/Valaikkappu since its easy and quick people mostly prefer this pickle to serve for any feast. This pickle goes well with Curd Rice, Sambar sadham, Lemon Rice, Rasam & rice or you can enjoy this as such like a salad. This is so simple to make, just chop and do tempering that's it...Tangy & Tasty Mango Pickle ready. 

Ingredients

1. Raw Mango    1 no. or 1 and 1/2 cup (chopped pieces)
2. Turmeric Powder    a small pinch
3. Salt     1/2 tsp or to taste
4. Chilli Powder     1/2 tsp or to taste
5. Hing     a small pinch

To Temper

1. Oil      2-3 tsp
2. Mustard seeds    1/2 tsp
3. Urad dal    1/4 tsp
4. Curry leaves    few (optional)

Method

• Wash Mango thoroughly and wipe with a paper towel, then chop in to fine pieces or to your desired shape n size and keep ready.
• Heat oil in a pan, when its get heated add mustard seeds and allow to splutter then add urad dal and fry till golden brown and add curry leaves n hing.
• After that add chopped mango pieces, turmeric powder, chilli powder, enough salt and stir everything well.
• Keep stirring in medium heat for a minute. I like my mango pieces to be bit crunchy so i saute for a minute then removed the pan from heat.
• If u want it to be soft then stir fry for one more minute and turn off the stove.
• That's it..Quick Mango Pickle Ready. 

Notes:

This pickle should be consumed within a day.
