Sharing is caring!

4 ingredient Instant Raw Mango Pickle without oil is one of my favourite instant version of pickle. I always make this when fresh raw mangoes are available. It is one of the simplest recipe you can make, it is oil free and stays good in fridge for 5-6 days or more.

Summers & Pickles

Making this pickle bring fond memories of my childhood. Where all the neighbouring houses including ours use to get busy in making pickles during summer. Some pickles call for sun drying of the mango and we all kids use to love snacking on them. All of them knew that their 1/4th of the pickle would be gone by us little monsters. But still they use to let it dry by giving us stern warnings. haha 🙂

And as kids we use to not abide to them. Fun days I would say. Just remembering them makes me fresh. Hanging out endlessly all day outside during summers, enjoying all this pickles, the icecream and the candies. Watching tv programmes with all your friends especially aired for kids was just pure fun. I know you too might have such memories. Do comment below, would love to read them.

4 ingredient Instant Raw Mango Pickle without oil

So coming back to today’s recipe of, 4 ingredient Instant Raw Mango Pickle without oil , it is simple pickling of the mangoes. All you do is add some salt and turmeric and that’s it. Adding of red chilli powder or chopped green chilli is optional too. I do add as it goes well as a side and satisfies your spicy taste buds. Also there are no exact measurements to this recipe. You add everything as per your taste.

Once you add the ingredients give it a nice stir. In a matter of minutes or a 1-2 hours, it starts releasing water. You can enjoy this right away, or wait for a day for the mango to go a bit more soft. This can be added in your dal’s or just enjoyed with plain roti.

And do not discard the water released. This can be used instead of lemon juice into your dal’s or curries. It gives it a lip-smacking taste. I have even added this in one of my Indian Style Sprouted Mung Bean & Mango Salad.

This is my first recipe about any type of pickles. It’s not that we do not eat, but I do not make much. My mom is a pickle queen. She makes so many different types of pickles. Mango, lemon, mix vegetables, gooseberry, hing and what not. Many are oil free and helps in digestion and are good for your butt. Hopefully one day I will make a collection of all her pickles here on my blog.

Some tips for making pickles

Always buy firm green mangoes. They should be raw. Secondly the jar which you are using should be thoroughly cleaned and sterile. For that you can bathe the jar in hot boiling water and let it completely dry. When making any pickle, make sure your hands are dry. From knife ,plates to spoons, whatever you use should be spotlessly clean and dry.
