Ingredients

• 4 cups raw green mangoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup mustard oil
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
• 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
• 1 tablespoon fenugreek seeds
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
• 1/2 cup salt (or as per taste)
• 1 teaspoon nigella seeds (kalonji)
• Cumin
• 3-4 garlics

Instructions

Prepare the Mangoes

Wash and peel the raw green mangoes.

Cut them into small, uniform-sized pieces. Ensure the mangoes are dry to prevent any water content in the pickle.

Sun-Dry the Mango Pieces

Spread the diced mangoes under direct sunlight for a few hours. This helps remove any residual moisture and ensures the pickle stays fresh for a longer time.

Prepare the Spice Mix

Dry roast mustard seeds, fennel seeds, and fenugreek seeds in a pan until they release a rich aroma.

Allow the roasted spices to cool, then grind them into a coarse powder.

Prepare the Pickle Mix

In a large, dry bowl, combine the diced mangoes with turmeric powder, red chili powder, asafoetida, and the ground spice mix. Mix well.

Heat Mustard Oil

Heat mustard oil in a pan until it reaches its smoking point.

Allow the oil to cool slightly to avoid any bitterness.

Combine Oil with Mango Mix

Pour the tempered oil over the mango and spice mixture. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the mango pieces are coated evenly.

Add Salt

Add salt to the mixture and stir well. Adjust the salt according to your taste preferences.

Store in a Jar

Transfer the pickle into a clean, airtight glass jar.

Maturation

Allow the pickle to mature for at least a week before consuming. This allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
