Step 4: Finally, add salted tender mangoes and mix it well. Serve after two weeks.
Tips and warnings
  • Use glass jar always for storing pickle.
  • Keep it in room temperature for 48 hrs and then keep it in fridge for months (I prefer this method).
  • If the pickle is covered with oil, you can keep it in room temperature for months, as the oil acts as a preservative. 
  • When you take the a portion of pickle from bottle, slant the jar and take the mango pieces without oil.
  • Cook it in a medium flame.
  • If it is a maiden attempt, start with a small quantity, because, it needs experience to bring the balance in sour, spicy and salty taste of tender mango pickle.
    Now, spicy tender mango pickle is ready
