About Mango Thokku Recipe
This mangai thokku is easy and quick to make also gets done in under 30 mins. Thokku means a condiment more like a thick sauce which serves as a great sidedish with chapathi, curd rice, idli, dosa, paratha etc. For any pickle salt, chilli and oil should be added generously to extend shelf life. I love adding jaggery as it balances the spice and salt in the pickle so I recommend adding it.

- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp jaggery powder optional
- salt to taste

- Grate them finely and keep aside. Repeat to finish the other raw mango too.
- Grated and ready.
- Dry roast fenugreek, set aside to cool.
- Roast until golden brown.
- Grind it slightly coarse, I used hand mortar and pestle as the quantity is less.
- First heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a pan add mustard seeds, hing let the mustard seeds crackle.
- Add grated mango and saute.
- Saute until the moisture leaves completely may take 5 mins.
- Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder and required salt.
- Keep sauteing until it comes together.
- Then add remaining oil little by little and keep cooking until it turns nonsticky.
- Keep cooking.
- Add fenugreek powder and powdered jaggery and mix well.

- Switch off. Cool down completely then store in a clean dry container. Tangy mangai thokku ready!

Notes
- Saute until moisture leaves from grated raw mango. Sauteing and frying well in low flame is very important for the mango thokku to keep well for long else it will get spoiled soon.
- Add kashmiri chilli powder for bright red color and less spicy pickle.
- Be generous in adding gingelly oil as it extends shelf life.
- Keeps well for a week in room temperature. After that I recommend storing in fridge. It keeps well in fridge for about 3 months.
- Adding jaggery at the end gives it a tangy taste, do not miss it.
- Always store in clean dry container.
- You can do the tempering finally and add too.
- You can even grate with the skin but I prefer peeling off skin then grating as amma does it that way and am used to this taste.
- Being mango season you can make this and store this for a month(refrigerated). This tastes yummy with curd rice or even chapatis. It has the tangy flavour from the raw mango and the sweetness from jaggery apt to lick as such too 🙂

Basically I'm not a pickle person nor my husband is. But when I saw the recipe, I really wanted to lick 😉 so immediately got the mangoes and tried it. It came out AWESOME! Kudos to your recipe. But one thing, I believe you forgot to mention the salt measurement. Can you please add to it.
