Mangoes are one of the summer’s best foods and are now in season. They are sweet, tart, tasty, and juicy. Ripe fruit not only tastes wonderful when consumed, but raw fruit may also be made into delectable pickles, chutneys, and aam panna. You can ensure that you will continue to enjoy mangoes long after summer ends by preparing mango pickles. Pickles may be challenging to make, and for the best flavour, one needs to combine the proper amount of seasonings, oil, and other toppings. Pickles may be stored for a long time thanks to salt, oil, and the sun-drying process.
Here are three incredible mango pickle recipes that you can prepare throughout the summer and have all year.

1 tsp. red chilli powder
1 tsp. ajwain

Mangoes should have their seeds removed before being pulped with the skin still on.

The bits of mango will soften after 7 days. Place the pickle on a palette and leave it outside for the sun to dry it.
The masala should be added once the pickle bits are dried and prepared. Fennel and fenugreek should be ground in a blender to a fine powder. The pan is now hot, and some mustard oil has been added.
Once it’s heated, let it cool down a bit. Mix well before adding the masalas and red chilli and coating all of the mango chunks with the mixture. Your pickled, dried mango is prepared.
