About Sweet Mango Pickle

Sweet Mango Pickle is a unique variety of pickle which is sweet and tangy. The tanginess from raw mangoes with jaggery complements well for this pickle. This is best when served with curd rice.

I make both spicy and sweet versions of mango pickle. I love this sweet version more, I even eat it as such but it is best when served with curd rice, unbeatable combo I can say!

Expert Tips

• Also don’t keep steel spoon immersed in the pickle, the pickle will get spoiled easily.
• This is instant pickle and you need not wait till soaking time. Just make it and serve it.
• The mangoes get half cooked in jaggery syrup so it is soft.
