Mango thokku | Manga thokku | Raw mango instant thokku is a easy pickle prepared with grated raw mangoes . Raw mango pickle stays good for months.
Manga urugai is one of my favorite pickles. When I was in India every summer Amma prepared a variety of pickle and keep it in a fridge . I use one or two during every meal. After coming to US Initially I just make Pulikachal and Tomato thokku. Other pickles I buy from the stores. This time I visited India during summer so get to see the way how Amma prepared pickles. Seeing the way how easy mango thokku is I wanted to note down the recipe and try it.
Instant mango pickle was prepared within 20 minutes. It is quick and tastes much better than a store brought pickle. Whether mango thokku is taken as a side for curd rice or side for tiffin this pickle tastes so yum. Pickle stays good for 2 – 3 days.

Notes
- Let the Thokku cool completely before transferring it to a airtight container
- Thokku will stay good for more than a month if clean dry spoon is used and no water is sprinkled in the pickle by accident
- Always store in air-tight container and use a dry spoon every time you serve
- Do not put a silver spoon inside the pickle container it will become black and the pickle will be spoiled.
- Instead of grating mangoes can also be put in chopper
- Refrigerate the pickle to keep it fresh and use it for 3 months
- Adjust the spice level according to the sourness of raw mango and also your taste
- If you want to cut down oil reduce 1 tbsp, not more. Thokku needs more oil for shelf life and taste
