The instant mango pickle is a common thing that is served in weddings and other functions and even though I am not a huge fan of Mangoes, this one made with raw mango has a special place in my heart!

This is a very tasty pickle that goes well with curd rice.Use it the same day or store in a refrigerator for a couple of days.Since we don’t add any preservatives they don’t keep good if left outside for more than a few days. .It is best when used fresh.
