- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 5 min
- Makes: 1 serving (35.8 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Low carb
- Contains: mustard
Ingredients
- 25 g Mango, raw
- 8 g Mustard oil
- 0.5 g Mustard seeds
- 0.3 g Fenugreek seeds
- 0.3 g Turmeric
- 0.5 g Cayenne pepper
- 0.2 g Garlic powder
- 1 g Salt
Method
- Cut the raw mango, skin on, into small bite-sized pieces.
- Toss the mango pieces with the salt and turmeric and let them sit for 20 minutes to draw out a little moisture.
- Heat the mustard oil in a small pan until it just starts to shimmer, then take it off the heat and let it cool for a minute.
- Add the mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, garlic powder (in place of asafoetida) and cayenne pepper to the warm oil and stir until fragrant.
- Pour the spiced oil over the mango pieces and mix thoroughly so every piece is coated.
- Pack into a clean, dry jar, pressing down so the oil covers the mango, and let it mature at room temperature out of direct sun, stirring once a day, for about 1 week.
- After that first week, keep the jar refrigerated (this is a lighter-salt pickle, not a shelf-stable one) and eat it within a couple of months.
- This makes about 1 serving (a heaping tablespoon); multiply all the ingredients by 20 for a small 500 g jar.
