Mango Pickle

Mango Pickle is a beloved and tangy South Indian condiment made from raw, unripe mangoes. The natural sourness of raw mangoes combines beautifully with a blend of spices, creating a flavorful and spicy pickle that complements a variety of meals.

To prepare Mango Pickle, the raw mangoes are typically peeled, chopped, and mixed with spices such as mustard seeds, fenugreek, cumin, red chili powder, turmeric, and curry leaves. Tamarind is often added for extra tanginess, and jaggery or sugar may be used to balance the sourness with a hint of sweetness. The mixture is then preserved in oil, usually sesame or mustard oil, which helps in both flavoring and preserving the pickle.

The resulting Mango Pickle is a perfect balance of sour, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors. It’s typically enjoyed with rice, paratha, dosa, or chapati, adding a tangy burst to any meal. Mango Pickle is a popular choice during the summer months and is considered a must-have in South Indian households, especially during festivals and special occasions.

This pickle not only brings bold flavors to your meal but is also packed with the goodness of raw mangoes, known for their digestive benefits and vitamin C content.
