🌿 Traditional South Indian Mango Pickle Recipe

🧂 Ingredients:

  • Raw mangoes – 500g (firm, sour variety like Totapuri or Kilimooku)

  • Salt – 3 tbsp (adjust to taste)

  • Red chili powder – 3 tbsp (adjust based on heat preference)

  • Mustard seeds – 2 tbsp

  • Fenugreek seeds – 1 tsp

  • Turmeric powder – 1 tsp

  • Asafoetida (hing) – ¼ tsp

  • Cold-pressed sesame oil (gingelly oil) – 150 ml (or enough to cover the pickle)

  • Curry leaves – a few (optional)

  • Garlic – 10 cloves (optional, traditional in some variations)

🔪 Preparation:

  1. Wash and dry the mangoes thoroughly. Cut them into small bite-sized pieces (with or without skin depending on preference).

  2. Dry the pieces on a clean cotton towel for a few hours to remove moisture.

  3. Roast mustard and fenugreek seeds separately on low flame until aromatic. Let them cool and grind into a coarse powder.

  4. In a large bowl, mix mango pieces with salt, turmeric, and red chili powder. Let it sit for 30–60 minutes.

  5. Add the mustard-fenugreek powder, asafoetida, and optional garlic/curry leaves.

  6. Heat sesame oil until slightly smoky, then let it cool a bit. Pour over the mango mixture. Stir well.

  7. Transfer to a sterilized glass jar. Ensure the mango pieces are fully submerged in oil.

  8. Let it rest for 2–3 days at room temperature to mature. Shake the jar daily to mix evenly.

  9. Store in a cool, dry place. It keeps well for weeks (or months) if moisture-free.

✅ Tips:

  • Always use dry utensils to avoid spoilage.

  • Add more oil if needed to keep the pickle submerged.

  • This version is naturally preserved with salt, oil, and spices—no chemical preservatives required.
