Mango thokku | Manga thokku | Raw mango instant thokku  | Manga thokku | Mango recipes | south Indian pickle variety 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

  1. Let the Thokku cool completely before transferring it to a airtight container
  2. 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
  3. Always store in air-tight container and use a dry spoon every time you serve
  4. Do not put a silver spoon inside the pickle container it will become black and the pickle will be spoiled.
  5. Instead of grating mangoes can also be put in chopper
  6. Refrigerate the pickle to keep it fresh and use it for 3 months 
  7. Adjust the spice level according to the sourness of raw mango and also your taste
  8. If you want to cut down oil reduce 1 tbsp, not more. Thokku needs more oil for shelf life and taste

    Hi Vidya, such awesome recipe this one is. You know in north India, we dont do many of these pickles stuff. Or maybe I am the only ignorant one there 🙂

    I have pinned it for my next weekend venture 🙂

    Cheers
