mango pickle

Homemade mango pickle is a traditional, flavorful condiment made using raw, firm green mangoes mixed with aromatic spices and oil. Fresh mango pieces are washed, sun-dried to remove moisture, and then coated with salt, turmeric, red chilli powder, mustard seeds, and sometimes fenugreek for a slightly bitter note. The mixture is blended with warm mustard or sesame oil, which helps preserve the pickle and enhances its rich taste.

As the pickle matures, the mango pieces absorb the spices and oil, developing a perfect balance of sour, spicy, and tangy flavors. The texture remains firm yet juicy, and the aroma is strong and appetizing. Homemade mango pickle is free from artificial preservatives and reflects authentic regional taste, making it a beloved accompaniment to rice, curd, chapati, or simple meals.
