Kadugu Manga – Fresh Mango Pickles

The best thing about these Pickles are that, they can be eaten immediately and contain no preservatives. They come together in very little time and have a good shelf life when refrigerated. They taste best and last longer when made with really sour mangoes.

2 tbsp red chili powder
1 tsp cut julienne style ginger
1 tsp cut julienne style garlic
1 tbsp salt 
big pinch of asafoetida 
½  tsp turmeric powder
½  tsp black mustard seeds
½ tsp roasted fenugreek powder (dry roast fenugreek seeds and powder them)
2 tbsp sesame or refined vegetable oil
2 sprigs of curry leaves

Directions

Heat oil in a pan, add asafoetida and mustard and when the mustard pops, add curry leaves, fenugreek,ginger, garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes.

Reduce the heat and add chili powder and stir fry for another couple of minutes on very low heat.

Turn off the heat, add salt and let the mixture cool.

When cool, add this mixture to the raw mangoes and mix thoroughly.
