Mustard Powder - 1 cup

Salt - 3/4th cup

Red Chilli Powder - 1 cup

Sesame Oil - 2 cups

*** All the ingredients used in this preperation do not have to be heated / cooked. They are to be used as it is.

1. Cut Mango into medium pieces. Do not remove the skin. We need atleast 2 cups of pieces.

2. If you do not have ready-made Mustard powder, grind Mustard seeds. Do not roast / add oil. Grind the store-bought mustard seeds till they become a fine powder. We need 1 cup for the pickle.

3. Take a big bowl and add the mustard powder, salt and red chilli powder. Mix them well. Add the mango pieces and while adding oil ... mix the pieces with the other ingredients. Take out the pickle in dry air tight container. You can add more oil after you transfer it into the container. The pickle should be fully soaked in oil. For best results, use the store-bought raw sesame oil.

4. Close the lid and store the pickle. Its good to eat after 3 days

Garlic lovers : Add atleast 5-8 Garlic pods. Remove the skin, Mash and directly add to the pickle. Store the pickle in an air tight container.

Pickle stays fresh up to a month.
