I asked hubby to get some ginger from the supermart. When he handed me the baggie i saw that he bought this mango ginger instead of normal ginger. I was not at all worried, because i wanted to make this pickle and share it in my blog for so long. I called my mom and asked for the recipe and she gave me two kinds of recipe. One with oil and other without oil. Will be sharing a no oil version soon..
