Summer is already here!! First thing we remember and be waiting in summer is for Mangoes. Raw mangoes are available in the start of the summer and this is the time to prepare yummy and spicy mango pickle. It is very easy and quick recipe. Normal mango pickles takes weeks or months to get marinated but this pickle can be served immediately. I would recommend totapuri mangoes for this recipe, it tastes great for instant pickle. Totapuri is very popular in India and is easy to find in India. If you are not able to find totapuri then you can use any type of raw mango.

INGREDIENTS:
1 big raw mango (preferred totapuri mango)
2 tbsp chili powder
5 tsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
salt as required

PROCEDURE:
  • Wash and clean mango in running water. Chop mango into small and thin pieces.

  • Heat oil in a small pan and season with mustard seeds.

  • Now add hot seasoned oil to chopped mango. Adding hot oil to mango helps to marniate quickly.

  • Add chili powder and salt to it.


  • Mix well and adjust the salt based on the sourness of mango.


  • It can be served immediately. And can be stored for 1 week to 10 days.
  • It will be great combination with curd rice.
Homemade Vangibath powder will make you feel very light and fresh. As it can be easily prepared and stored, you can always prefer this instead of using readymade ones. Good for health as well. Because HEALTH is WEALTH :-)

INGREDIENTS:
2 tsp urad dal
2 tsp channa dal
2 inch cinnamon
2 dried kapok buds/Moggu
12 to 15 dried red chili
1 tsp oil
1/4 cup dried coconut sliced

PROCEDURE:
  • Be ready will all ingredients which needs to be fried. So that you won't over roast as we will be roasting ingredients separately.

  • Heat a small pan. Dry fry urad dal and channa dal till it turns to golden brown and keep aside.

  • Now heat oil in same pan and fry cinnamon and kapok buds. Keep aside

  • Then add red chilies to same pan with the oil left and keep side.

  • Let it cool.

  • Once it is cooled then add all the fried ingredients and dried coconut to mixer jar.

  • Powder finely using a mixer grinder.

  • This powder can be stored for 10 to 15 days. Homemade vangibath powder will gives you very nice aroma and taste. Vangibath recipe will be coming soon :-)
