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
