Maangai Oorugaai/ Mango Pickle


2 green mango (sour ones)
3 tbsp Red chili powder
3 tbsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp asafetida
2 tsp methi seeds (dry roast and powdered)
Salt as needed
5 cloves garlic cut into small pieces
3 tsp mustard seeds
2 tsp jeera
5 curry leaves

Cut the mangos into small pieces (or your convenient size cubes). Add Chili powder, coriander powder and asafetida, with salt and methi powder. Take a pan, pour 4 tbsp oil, and add mustard seeds, jeera, curry leaves and garlic pieces. After the tampering is done, let it cool and then add it to the mango masala mixture. Mix thoroughly and let it aside. Save it in an air tight jar. Mix the pickle once every day so that the oil coats everywhere evenly.

Best ever.... got lots of appreciations from friends and family... :)
