Mangai Thokku Recipe or Grated Raw Mango Pickle is a condiment we prepare with raw or unripe mango. During the season, this pickle is the best way to enjoy the produce. We make it with freshly grated mango with fresh masalas.
During the Summer season, its time for Mangoes. We make different dishes with the raw or unripe mangoes. Amma mostly makes it every year, this time I learnt the recipe from her and sharing it here. This Mangai Thokku is a regular one, thokku is Tamil word. The recipe is very simple and easy to make as well.
It is an instant type of pickle, with short shelf life, however tastes great with rotis, does and curd rice. We make another version of Mango Pickle, which is quick as well. The other version is this Vankaya Mamidikaya Pachadi.
