It is the lent season and almost majority of the Christians would be on a vegetarian diet. There are so many variants to the vegetarian recipes that at times, you may even forget to have the non-vegetarian food..lol
Well this is one among the dishes that we make often and I remember my mom making them in large batches, so that there is sufficient to stock that would last long. However, these are so tasty that, at times it may not last the period that she had in mind,….lol
This is so simple and easy to make and you would just keep wanting for more. Just this one dish would be sufficient to have a bowl full of rice and this is one of the main stars that is served on Good Friday along with rice soup or Kanji after the Church mass. The very thought of having Kanji in earthen post along with this Mango Pickle makes my mouth water and I thoroughly enjoy it every year.
Servings – 3-4
Ingredients
3-4 Raw mangoes cut into small cubes
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Kashmiri chilly powder

1 tsp Asafoetida powder

Thanks dear…:)
I have been wanting to make them ever since I saw raw mangoes in the market last week… All i need is some curd rice and these delicious pickles 🙂
Oh!! Rekha !.. now u make my mouth water… 🙂 curd rice and these mangoes are just made for each other….just love the combination……
Another quick and easy mango pickle to try.
Interesting that you should recommend adding water, if required. In our home the rule is that water and pickle of any kind don’t mix.
Thanks Aruna… but the funniest part is that this would not last long as it just vanishes very soon …lol….
