Raw Mango Pickle

These type of Pickles are easily prepared with any kind of vegetables  like Cauliflower,Carrot,Cabbage,Indian Cucumber,Gherkins etc.Eventhough  the vegetable is different ,preparing method is same.I like this variation of Pickles very much along with Hot rice.

So ,I learned this recipe from my mother ,while our talkings going on we both discussed about the Lunch Menu of the day.She explained me this Raw mango Pickle.I was tempted to eat ,but dont know exactly .By knowing from my Mom today I am  able to try this and posting it today for all of you.

Note:

• You can also serve it by preparing in the morning and having it for the Night.It makes the mango to absorb all the ingredients and makes tastier.

• Mustard seeds are directly powdered in the Mixyjar without any roasting.
