Avakai Pachadi ( Mango pickle)

Ingredients:

Raw Mango - 2 large ones
Red Chilli powder - 1 cup
Salt - 1 cup
Turmeric - 1/4 spoon
Mustard powder - 1 1/4 cup
Oil - 3 cups
Methi seeds - 1/4 cup


Method:

1) Wash mangoes and dry them by wiping with a clean dry cloth.

2) Cut mangoes into pieces. See that all the pieces get a portion of hard shell of mango, while cutting take out the seed.

3) In a large bowl mix red chilli powder, salt, mustard powder, turmeric and methi seeds together. Now add oil so that it becomes a wet paste.

4) Add the cut pieces to this wet paste and transfer it into a dry jar.

5) Pour some oil on the top and cover it tightly. On the third day mix it all over again. And the mango pickle is ready.
