Grated Mango Pickle

‎

This is a family favourite and very quick and easy to make….

Ingredients:

1 kg mangoes (grated) or remove pith and roughly chop in a blender

2 tablespoons crushed garlic

2 teaspoons crushed red chillies

2 tablespoons freshly crushed green chillies or crushed red chillies

1 ½ tablespoons roughly crushed mustard seeds

1 tablespoon whole mustard seeds

1 tablespoon roughly crushed jeera seeds (roast and crush)

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

½ cup vinegar

½ cup cooking oil

Salt to taste

A few sprigs curry leaves

Method:

Peel, wash and dry mangoes. Grate or cut chunks off seed and chop roughly in a blender. Place in a large dish and add salt, red dried chillies, turmeric powder, crushed mustard, crushed jeera and (if using) dried crushed chillies.

Add oil to a pan and heat. Now add the crushed garlic. When this turns pink, add the crushed green chillies (if using), curry leaves and whole mustard seeds. Remove from stove when mustard seeds start to splutter. Pour the hot oil mixture over your mangoes, add the vinegar and toss well. Bottle when cool. Leave to rest at least 1½ weeks and will be ready to eat. Keep refrigerated.

NOTE: Please make sure that the pickle is topped with oil as it will spoil.
