Green Mango Pickle (fresh)

Here is the second recipe that I used for my green mangoes. I have never made a fresh pickle before, one that goes with a curry, or dosa, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.
I wanted to make one that you was fairly easy and all you had to do was put it in a jar and refrigerate it, not "can" it in a sterilized jar.
This is what I came up with adapted from Show Me The Curry
Fresh Green Mango Pickle
  • 1 raw green mango
  • salt to taste
  • 2 teaspoon cilantro
  • red chili powder to taste
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon fenugreek
  • pinch of asafoetida
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons black vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion seeds, (or poppy seeds or black sesame seeds) 
Directions: Wash, peel and chop mango into small a dice, place it in a bowl, add salt, chopped cilantro, red chili,  and onion seeds. You can leave the skin on if you like, but discard the core. I had some carrot left over from the green mango salad so I added a little of the carrots too.

In a tiny skillet heat up the oil on medium heat. Add the mustard seeds until fragrant and start to pop, add cumin seeds, stir about 30 seconds, add asafoetida, fenugreek, and turmeric. Turn off the heat and stir it to mix. Pour over the mango and mix well, add the vinegar, stir to combine and garnish or top with black sesame seeds. 
When cool store in airtight jar for 4-7 days.
This is a great condiment with Indian food. It is also yummy served with flat breads, hummus, or add it to couscous! It was nice warm...I couldn't wait for it to cool before I tried it.
So what kind of fresh pickles have you made?

  2. I love mango chutney, now if only we had the mangoes!!! I am hoping we will have enough figs to make some chutney this year, but there is not much fruit of any kind this year after the hard winter! Diane

  10. Lyndsey, I'm so glad you were able to find such an amazing and really gourmet yummy green mango recipe! Looks so refreshing and delicious!
    I will be googling for that black vinegar, which I have never even heard of, and some of the other spices, as well...ie. ASAFOETIDA?...am I living under a 'rock'? How come I don't know about these ingredients?

  11. Ha! Elisabeth, you are funny! I don't think every North American kitchen has Chinese black vinigar and asafoetida (also called hing) in it. I like the black vinegar because it is not so vinegary...I don't like a strong vinegar taste, so I will use either balsamic or black vinegar, mild and slightly sweet. Asafoetida I picked up at the Asian store along with the Chinese black vinegar of course. I use it in many Indian dishes and dahl, it has a funny smell, but I like it. You only use a pinch or two. Let me know I can send you some...or bring it when I come. :D

  14. I would love to try your mango pickles, Lyndsey, but I'm afraid I've never seen several of the ingredients in my market. I just made a jar of pickled cucumber, onion and carrots that I love to add to salads. That's about as exotic as I get.

  18. This is very interesting. I haven't used mangoes for any savory dishes - but pickles sounds fun and great side dish to try for sure! I'm tired of using cucumbers for pickles. Haha.
