Raw Mango season started! Got nice Raw Mangoes from Indian Shop today.. First thing came to my mind is Pickle. Got 2 Kgs of raw mangoes. I made Grated Mango Thokku and Chopped Mango pickle. My husband's favourite is Chopped Mango Pickle. But my favorite is Thokku. I learnt these pickles from my MIL, she is indeed a very good chef! For any pickle we should be generous in spice and salt and for any sweet we should be generous in adding sugar / jaggery. This is one of the secret advice given by my MIL. Keeping that in mind, I have made this spicy and mouth-watering Mangai Thokku (grated Raw Mango Pickle). Mango thokku is a great accompaniment for curd rice and even for rotis. My husband came home for lunch and he enjoyed this yummy Mangai Thokku with curd rice a lot! Lets learn how to make this Mangai Thokku now..

The oil preserves this thokku. While serving, do not use the top layer oil. Also use dry spoon while serving. Also once a day stir the thokku well and refrigerate again.
