Preparation Time : 30 mins
Sun Drying Time : 2 days
Raw Mangoes - 5 large mangoes chopped into cubes
Fennel Seeds / Saunf / Sombu - 2 tblspn
Mustard Seeds / Kaduku - 2 tblspn
Fenugreek Seeds / Methi / Vendayam - 2 tsp
Nigella Seeds / Kalonji - 2 tblspn
Salt to taste
Turmeric Powder / Manjal Podi - 1 tblspn
Red Chilli Powder - 2 to 3 tblspn
Mustard Oil or Gingelly Oil - as needed
Method:
Take mustard, fennel, fenugreek in a blender and crush them coarsely. Set aside.
Take chopped mangoes in a bowl, add this spice mix, turmeric, salt, chilli powder, nigella seeds and toss well.
Place this bowl under sunlight for 2 whole days.
Now spoon this into bowl.
Pour over mustard oil. The oil should completely cover the mangoes.
Let this sit for a week before enjoying.
For making this pickle without sun:
1)Just mix everything up, fill a bottle with it. Pour over the oil till it is completely covered. Set aside for a week before using. This way the mango will be moist before it has not been dried under sun.
Notes:
1)Always use clean and dry bowl, bottle and spoon while handling this pickle.
2)This pickle stays good for over a year
3)I added raw mustard seed oil, you can heat it till smoking then cool it completely and add it in.

I have a confusion regarding method before the final submerging amounts of mustard oil addition. Some people do not add crushed mustard seeds instead use a little mustard oil initially during two days period that you mentioned - is that fine as we have done it this way? Further it is raining so we cannot put it in sunlight. However, I can put a lit bulb instead if that makes any sense 🙂 ?
Aarthi
