Yippeeeeeee. We are in the last week of this month long marathon and I am happy that I have managed to be ready with all the 5 recipes for this week. I just have to edit the pictures and my post.
For the last week the ingredient I have chosen in raw mango. It is off-season now but I managed to get 1 or 2 mangoes for some of my recipes and few recipes I had prepared over summer but never posted.
Manga kari makes an entry 2-3 times in our kitchen during the summer season. There is a mango in the name of kilimooku in tamil and kilichundan in malayalam meaning parrot's nose. Whenever I find this mango (Raw) I buy them in huge and make a variety of recipes like this manga kari, manga chammandhi, manga koottan etc... Will try to post most of these in this week's marathon.
Starting this week with a very easy to make and instant pickle. This pickle often finds its place in the sadya menu. This can be made in a jiffy. The only time consuming process being chopping up the mango into small pieces. This kari stays good in room temperature for 2-3 days. Most of the times it gets over within that time. If you are planning to keep it for more time then it has to be refrigerated and consumed within about a week.
Ingredients:
Mango,unripe - 1
Red chilli powder - 1 tbsp
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp
Roasted fenugreek seeds powder - 1 pinch
Salt - As needed
To temper
Sesame oil - 1 tblsp
Mustard - 3/4 tsp
Method:
- Chop the cleaned mango finely - as tiny as possible and place in a mixing bowl.
- Add salt and raw asafoetida and mix everything with the chopped mango.
- In a pan/ kadai, heat oil and temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table.
- Switch off the stove and add fenugreek seeds powder, turmeric, red chilli powder and mix well.
- Add this to the chopped mango. Mix well until the oil is evenly coated.
Instant mango pickle is ready!! Enjoy with a bowl of curd rice.
Notes:
- Adjust the spice and salt according to the tanginess of the mango.
- You can also add 1 red chilly while tempering. I usually don't add.
- This pickle also goes well with biriyanis.
