Mango Thokku/Raw mango pickle/Aam ka achar | Gayathiri's Cookbook

This lip smacking mango thokku is from my mom’s recipe book. We had 7 mango trees in our backyard and in our younger days , my mom used to make this pickle in bulk every summer. My siblings and I will finish it in no time, so she saves something for us at the end of summer. There are varieties of mangoes, but this mango pickle recipe will taste good with “Kilimooku” raw mango.

Store bought pickles have lots of oil, salt and preservatives which is not good for health. This freshly homemade pickle recipe is very simple and you can make it quickly.
It’s tasty, spicy and quite addictive. It goes very well with all kinds of foods.

You can store it for at least 7 days without any preservatives.
