- Preparing The Pickle: Rinse the mangoes and then dry them with a clean kitchen towel. There should be no trace of moisture on them. Chop them into small bite sized pieces or cubes. Chopping is a bit tough. The chopped cubes should be about 1 to 1.25 cups. Place them in a mixing bowl or wide dish. Sprinkle 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp kashmiri red chili powder and salt on the cubes. Mix all of them nicely with a spoon. The masalas should nicely coat the cubes. Tempering The Pickle: Heat 4 tablespoons sesame oil in a small vessel or tadka pan. Add 2 tsp mustard seeds, 1 tsp fenugreek seeds and ½ tsp asafoetida. Once they start crackling, add the curry leaves. Fry for 1 to 2 seconds and then switch off the flame Pour this hot tempering over the masala coated raw mangoes. Mix everything with a spoon. Allow to cool and store the pickle in clean, sterilized glass bottles. The Nurukku Manga Achar is ready. Serve as a side dish in Sadhya meals or your favorite meals
