NOTES:
Care should be taken while dry roasting mustard, fenugreek and chilli powder. Do not burn them, which would totally spoil the taste of the pickle.
This pickle can also be prepared with raw mango pieces in the same way..
These Brine preserved Tender Mangoes or Cut Mangoes make tasty and unique briny spiced pickles, which taste awesome with curd rice.
Avoid using steel/aluminium/copper container for storing the pickles, as they tend to react with the acidic nature of salt and mangoes.
Suitable method is to store them in Clean and dry sterilized Glass/Ceramic /Porcelain Jars.
Always use clean & dry spoons(preferably wooden spoons) for the pickle.
Wet jars/spoon can spoil the pickle as the moisture in them helps in the growth of Fungus and that would spoil the pickle.
If stored properly, pickles can last for a year or so.
