Grated Raw Mango Pickle

My Punjabi aunty gave me lots of raw mangoes. I thought that this time I will try lots of pickle recipes. Last time I tried the Punjabi raw mango chutney  under auntys guidance and raw mango pickle which was what I had learnt from my Mom. It turned superb. This time I am doing more research. I did some Goan Raw Mango sweet chutney which my hubby has regularly with chapatis. I also tried this Grated Raw Mango Pickle.

While searching for some raw mango recipes I came across Priyas Recipe. I felt it was easy to follow and thought of trying it. I tried the same with slight variations, like I added sugar and used piece of asafoetida unlike the powder. This piece of asafetida imparts strong flavor and is my favorite. I get this from Goa as I don’t know where in Bangalore I can find this.

Thanks Priya for this recipe. It was very simple and my hubby and kid loved it. Both of them together demanded for more and I increased the quantity this time. I am making this for the second time and this is a special post devoted just for you 🙂
