Spicy Seasoned Raw Mango| | Instant Mango Pickle | Didier Uppinakayi | Spicy Raw Mango side-dish

Quick raw mango pickle, actually it is more of mango curry. Its tangy and spicy side dish. I like to make this dish with raw mango which is about to start to ripe, basically has a very slight hint of sweetness in it rather than being too sour. I add lots of garlic in this recipe which gives extra kick to the whole array of flavors in the dish.

Ingredients

1 - big raw mango
6 - garlic cloves (I use big cloves)
½ tsp - red chili powder (or add more chili pdr if you like it more spicy)
½ tsp - turmeric powder
¼ tsp - fenugreek powder (dry roast fenugreek seeds and grind to make powder)
½ tsp - mustard seeds
1 tbsp - oil for seasoning
6 - curry leaves
pinch of - asafoetida
pinch of - sugar [optional] ...use if mango is too raw and sour
salt as per taste.

Instructions

Peel the garlic skin and cut them into long slices.
Wash and wipe the raw mango
Peel the skin (sometimes I use the skin too -if it is very thin)
Cut the mango into small cube pieces.Add salt to the mango and mix, keep aside
Heat oil in a pan and when hot, add mustard seeds.
Once mustard seeds starts to spatter, add asafoetida, curry leaves and garlic slices.
Let garlic roast on a medium flame.
Now add red chili powder and turmeric powder into the seasoning oil. Stir a bit until you get nice aroma.
Now add the salted mango to the seasoning. Plus add the fenugreek powder (and sugar).
Stir and let it cook for about a minute.
Turn off the flame and let it cool down in the pan.
Transfer the quick mango pickle into a glass jar or container.
Serve mango pickle with Chapati or rice on the side.
Stays good for few days in refrigerator. It taste much better after 2-3 days when the mango pieces and garlic absorbs all the flavors.
Enjoy the spicy and tangy raw mango pickle with your family.

Picture below: was prepared with very raw and hard mango. The picture at the top is the batch made with slightly ripe/soften raw mango. Both tastes very good.
