Ingrédients
  

  • 3–4 raw green mangoes
  • 3 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp chilli powder
  • 1 tbsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tbsp crushed mustard seeds
  • 1 tbsp fenugreek seeds (methi)
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, crushed (optional)
  • 1 cup oil (sunflower or vegetable)

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry the mangoes completely. Moisture can spoil the pickle.
  • Cut the mangoes into small cubes or slices, leaving the skin on if you like the texture.
  • Salt the mango pieces and leave them in a bowl for about 2–3 hours to release some moisture.
  • In a separate bowl, mix:
    chilli powder
    turmeric
    mustard seeds
    fenugreek seeds
    garlic (optional)
  • Heat the oil until hot but not smoking, then let it cool slightly.
  • Add mango pieces to the spice mixture and mix well.
  • Pour the warm oil over the mango mixture and stir until everything is coated.
  • Transfer to a clean glass jar and press down so the oil covers the mango.
  • Leave in a warm place for 3–5 days, shaking or stirring the jar daily.
