Quick .Mango Pickle

Who does not like pickle? It is such a spicy yummy side dish goes well with every thing. Do you agree for my statement ? A spoon of pickle adds to the taste of food we eat is not so?

This particular mango I got from My brother in law's daughter Sandya. She got it from somebody who stays near by and the person owns a pickle mango tree. The mango I got was quite big and it was just fresh. I was lucky to taste the pickle, which she just finished preparing when we entered her home. Wow I tasted that and it was just spicy and yummy. 

The first thing when I got back is, started preparing pickle. 

One should remember that when you want to prepare pickle please keep this in mind.

Always prepare pickle with fresh mangoes as soon as you buy them.

The mango should be green, hard and the variety to prepare pickle. (All varieties of mangoes can not be used for pickle).  

It should be sour type, and should be plucked from the tree. (Not the fallen ones).

Use a glass jar to store them.

Let us see the recipe now. As I said this is a quick way of preparing pickle. No need to be put it into salt and wait. No need to sun dry.
