Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 1 jar
Ingredients
- 2 raw mangoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and dry the raw mangoes using a clean kitchen towel to remove any moisture.
- Cut the mangoes into small, uniform dice approximately 1/2 inch in size, ensuring all pieces are similar to help even seasoning and marination.
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes with red chili powder, mustard seeds, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure all mango pieces are evenly coated with spices.
- Add vinegar to the mixture and gently fold to incorporate, ensuring the liquid is distributed evenly throughout the mango pieces.
- Transfer the spiced mango mixture into a clean, sterilized glass jar with an airtight lid. Press down gently to remove any air pockets.
- Seal the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mangoes to absorb the spices.
- After marination, refrigerate the pickle. It can be consumed immediately but tastes better after 24 hours.
- The pickle will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days when stored in a clean, airtight container.
Tips
- Moisture is the Enemy: Ensure your mangoes and all utensils are completely dry to prevent spoilage and maintain the pickle's integrity.
- Uniform Cutting is Key: Take your time to dice mangoes into consistent, small pieces for even flavor distribution and better marination.
- Spice Balance Matters: Adjust the chili powder according to your heat tolerance, but don't compromise on the other spices that create the complex flavor profile.
- Sterilization is Crucial: Always use a clean, sterilized glass jar to store your pickle and prevent bacterial growth.
- Patience Pays Off: While you can eat the pickle immediately, letting it sit for 24 hours allows the flavors to mature and intensify.
- Storage Tip: Keep the pickle refrigerated and consume within 7-10 days for the best taste and freshness.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair this pickle with rice, flatbreads, or use as a zesty condiment to instantly upgrade your meals!
