Kadugu Maanga



Kadugu Maanga


Authentic Mango Pickle Recepy that blends along with the smell of summer. Pickling is a difficult art and getting the right blend of salt and spices is really a challenge, even for experience hands. Here is my first Vadu Maanga or Kadugu Maanga recepy. The real taste comes from the choice of sour mango variety. .the mangoes take at least a month to be ready for eating. Atlast I need to wait...

 Ingredients:

 Raw Tender Mangoes - 4 cups

 Crystal Salt - 1/4 cup

 Red Chilli Powder - 2 tbsp

 Turmeric Powder - 2 tsp

 Mustard Seed Powder - 1tbsp

 Gingelly Oil - 2 tsps

 Method  : In a large bowl mix mangoes and salt with the use of a spatula and leave it aside for 4 days. In between everyday morning and evening tumble the bowl to give it a nice mix. You can see the water starts appearing when the salt actually starts melting. The mangoes changes color here. On the forth day mix all the ground spices like red chilli powder. turmeric powder and mustard seeds and mix well in the mangoes. Alternatively you can use the ready made powders available in the market. Add 2 tsps of Gingelly Oil. Kadugu Maanga is ready. This preparation takes atleast a month to be consumed along with mangoes which then feels soft and soaked.
