Mango pickle

It's raw mango season and a festival like Vishu is incomplete without mango pickle. I was wondering what to make as accompaniment for the dishes we had prepared for Vishu.

I love mango inji, a very simple pickle with sliced mango and ginger. A little salt is added, that's all you need for this yummy pickle. It stay fresh for about 3 to 4 days.









To make mango pickle we need a few spices, finally add  mustard tadka.

Mango pickle

1 1/2 raw mango (these mangoes were bit sour)
A pinch of hing
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp red chili powder (spicy)
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 tbsp gingely oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
