RecipeIngredients
  • 2 cups chopped green mangoes (you can leave skin on) - fresh or frozen(thawed)
  • 1 tbsp Himalayan pink salt
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • ⅛ tsp asafoetida (optional)
  • ½ tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder (optional; omit for nightshade free)
  • ½ tsp ground mustard
  • ½ tsp ground fenugreek
  • ½ cup to ¾ cup organic raw Apple Cider Vinegar (Bragg's)
  • 1 tbsp cold pressed sesame oil
  • more Himalayan pink salt as needed
For the garnish:
  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • ½ tsp fenugreek seeds
RecipeInstructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, add the chopped mangoes (if using frozen, thaw first and remove as much water as possible using paper towels) and all the spices and mix well. Keep aside.
  2. Place a small frying pan or a tadka pan (tiny wok) on the stove and heat for 2 mins on medium heat until hot. Add the olive oil and immediately add the mustard seeds and the fenugreek seeds. Lower the heat to low and constantly stir the pan. The seeds will start spluttering in a minute or so and when all the spluttering is done, turn the heat off and pour this garnish over the spiced mangoes and mix well to coat all of them well. Let this mixture sit for about 15 minutes until it gets cool.
  3. Transfer the mango mixture to a glass jar / mason jar. Now add the apple cider vinegar slowly to the jar until all the mango pieces are submerged in the liquid completely. Now do a taste test and add more salt if needed as the vinegar will reduce the salty taste.
  4. Finally add the sesame oil on top and mix again using a long spoon. Cover the jar and keep it at room temperature for about two weeks opening it every 2-3 days to let the gases out.
  5. Check the pickle after two weeks to see if the mango is soft. If not, let it sit for another week or two before using!
