Had this Minced Mango Pickle at my sister in law’s place on my last vacation and I really loved this slightly sweet and tangy mango pickle. Wrote down the recipe from her. Since its mango time now and I got some really nice raw mangoes I made it recently. It is really good with rice, Kanji (rice gruel), chapathi or stuffed parathas with yogurt. A perfect companion when you are out of some curries or you are on Lent …

ReplyDeleteYou didn't say when to add sugar. You have stated about salt twice; once for the mangoes and other when adding vinegar. Sugar is not in the grinding list too. So when do we add sugar for the first time, before we check whether to add more sugar?
ReplyDeleteI'm all set to make this. Off to pick some mangoes from tree. Thank you this blog.
Have a nice day.
