Notes
- The pickle stays well for 2 days in room temperature and in total up to 4 days if refrigerated.
- If more oil floats on top (as for any pickle) it increases shelf life so may be add 1/4 cup oil if you want more shelf life.
- Always use clean spoon every time.
- Also don't keep metal spoon immersed in the pickle, the pickle will get spoiled easily.
- Grinding to a coarse powder gives the pickle a nice crunch while eating.
- 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.
- Add spice and sweetness according to your taste.
