Baby Mango Pickle (Type 2)
We visited Alibaug last month , me and hubby minus the little one who opted to stay put with grandparents. It was a much needed break after ages and we ended up finding a real nice place to stay.
Our resort had many mango trees -alphonsos, with some low hanging fruits tempting us every time we passed by. We plucked a few with permission and loved the raw sweet
taste. It reminded me of the small mango pickle that I made last year. I wanted to make it again but with a different recipe this time.
My greed for mangoes kept increasing as I started plucking them.After plucking about 2 dozen of them and still not satisfied I asked hubby to help me with picking more , especially the one's out of reach. Bewildered & embarrassed he went straight to the reception and told the manager to charge the amount to our bill. The manager reassured him that it is only natural temptation and that we were not the first one's doing so...I came back happily with the kitty and made this pickle very next day.

100 gms yellow mustard seeds
