  • Now again heat 100 ml mustard oil to the smoking point and close the gas. Bring it to room temperature and add to the pickle and mix well.
  • Ensure that all mango pieces are immersed in mustard oil.
  • Keep the pickle in sun for a week so as to allow it to mature. Pickle will be ready in 8 days and can be stored for the whole year.

Notes

  • Clean the mangoes properly and dry with clean cloth, ensure that the place where you are making pickle is moisture free. Moisture is the biggest killer for pickles, it is best to refrigerate.
  • Mustard oil should be heated to the smoking point. See that the oil is cool enough before adding to pickle. 
  • Mustard oil can be replaced with vegetable oil, in that case no need to heat oil before adding to the pickle.
