This is an instant pickle and it can’t stay for long time as it is made from early raw mangoes. It’s a tastemaker to any of your snacks or main course. It goes very well with Paratha, Upama, Poha, but my favourite combination is with plain rice.
I remember during my childhood we used to eat this pickle with every snack and meal, today we see this recipe is almost vanishing and so I decided to revive my grandmom’s recipe in my kitchen.
