This weekend was great...tried a couple of new experiments ( will post it one by one) and of all I got a surprise gift which would now enable me to post my recipe pics ....all stages of the recipe..... So here s one of my weekend accompaniment / instant pickle
1 Raw Mango - cut into cubes
1tsp Fennel / Saunf
1/2 tsp Onion Seeds / Kalonji / nigella seeds
1/4 tsp Turmeric pwd
1/2 tsp Red Chilly pwd
Salt - As required
1/2 tsp Sugar
4-5 Tbsp Oil
Wash and cut the raw mango into cubes, mix in red chilly powder and keep aside
Heat oil in a pan ( preferably not to use non stick , steel or aluminium works best) and once heated add the fennel and onion seeds
Now add in the turmeric powder ( remember to reduce the heat once the onion seeds are added else the turmeric powder may turn into a more darker brownish color giving your recipe an untidy appearance) along with the raw mango cubes
Mix in well and add salt as per your taste ( also would depend on the sourness level of the raw mango)
Let it cook for 2 mins and then add the sugar
Stir well and allow to cook until the mango is cut easily with a spoon
If you want to have it in a more soft / tender form cook for a longer period
This can be served as an accompaniment for rice , rotis, bread , dosa ........as you want to ......I simply love eating it just as it is......
Note : I had a medium sized mango.....so depending on the size please increase - reduce the amount of Oil and other ingredients
