Ingredients
- 4 cups mangoes or 3 to 4 small to medium-sized unripe green mangoes, rinsed, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon nigella seeds (kalonji)
- ½ tablespoon fenugreek seeds (methi dana) or ½ tablespoon coarsely ground fenugreek seeds
- 1 to 1.5 tablespoons red chili powder or cayenne pepper
- 1 to 1.25 cups powdered jaggery or sugar – add more if required
- 1 tablespoon salt or add as required
Instructions
- Firstly, wash and wipe dry the unripe green mangoes thoroughly. Before chopping make sure there is no moisture on the mangoes.
- Peel and chop the mangoes into bite-size or small pieces. Discard the seeds.
- Collect the mango pieces in a steel or ceramic bowl.
- Now, add nigella seeds, fenugreek seeds, red chili powder, salt and jaggery. Mix very well.
- The jaggery will melt and the mixture will look watery.
- Keep in the sun for 2 to 3 days till the jaggery syrup thickens and the mango pieces tenderize a bit. While in sunlight, cover the bowl with a fine sieve or a thin muslin cloth, so that dust, etc. does not fall on the pickle.
- Instead of drying in the sun, you can also cook everything together on a low heat till most of the moisture has evaporated and you get a sticky consistency in the sugar syrup.
- Store this sweet Mango Pickle in a clean, sterilized glass or ceramic jar.
- Keep the pickle in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy the Sweet Mango Pickle plain or with your meals.

Notes
- To store the pickle, do not use a plastic jar as the harmful chemicals can leach into the pickle. Store in a ceramic or glass jar.
