Punjabi Mango Pickle

I was skeptical trying out this recipe. However, after I made it everyone loved this unique flavor of spices.



Ingredients:

Raw Mangoes - 1/2 kg
Mustard oil - 50 ml

Mix the Spices:

Salt - 70 grams
Methi / Fenugreek seeds - 10 grams
Kalonji / Nigella seeds - 5 grams
Saunf / Fennel Seeds - 10 grams
Turmeric powder - 10 grams
Whole Peppercorns - 5 grams
Sugar - 1/2 tsp

Method to prepare:

1. Wash the raw mangoes and wipe dry.
2. Chop to one inch pieces and dry in the sun for 2-3 hours.
3. In a pot, mix mustard oil with the spices.
4. Add the mangoes and toss until they are well coated.
5. Store in a ceramic jar.
6. Keep the jar in the sun for a day.
7. Add enough mustard oil to cover the mangoes.

    I like the recipe. What I like the most is the jar that you stored the pickle in. It reminds me of all the pickle jars my amma used in her kitchen. I think it is the jar that makes the pickle a pickle. You know what I mean?

    Exactly the same here. I am very used to regular pickles that every south Indian home makes, but this was quite unique. Looks very good and tastes yumm.
