Namaskar!!What'sup!!Hope you all are doing good.I'm also fine here
Today I'm going to show you a simple and one of my favourite recipe
It was one among the most requested recipes
Its the instant sadya mango pickle
I always tell my mom to keep aside 2 dishes from the sadya specially for me and they are pineapple pachadi and this instant mango pickle
I used to tell the same to my uncles and aunties if they have a sadya at their home
It creates so much of nostalgic memories
Its a very simple as well as a tasty recipe
As a drawback,I've mentioned in the video that,we cannot preserve it for a longer period
We have to keep it in the fridge and I've given the details in the video
Do try my potato bonda and tapioca fritters recipes also
Don't forget to buy raw mango when you go out at the weekend and do try it at home and send your feedback
Now let's see how to make this instant mango pickle
Let's begin to make this sadya special mango pickle
One of the advantage of this pickle is that,we can make it and have it instantly
And the disadvantage is we cannot preserve it for a longer period like other pickles
Usually it is prepared on the previous day of sadya
I used to keep it in the fridge for about 1-2 weeks.But if we keep it at room temperature,it may spoil very quickly
I've taken 2 raw mangoes here
Before chopping it,taste a small piece of the skin and if it has any bitter taste,we should remove the skin first
And if it has no such bitter tastes,we can chop the mangoes along with its skin
Let me cut the mango now
It has a slight yellow colour inside which means its about to ripe soon.This is the perfect stage for making the pickle.It won;t taste good if it is very raw
Let me taste the skin of it
It tastes good and has no biter taste so let me cut it along with the skin
People used to cut the mango in different ways
My mom used to cut the mango in this way
In my vishu special mango curry,I've shown the way to cut the mango by keeping it like this
It won't be easy to cut the mango like that if we have no experience before
There is a chance to injure your hands while doing it.SO its better to cut it by keeping it on a cutting board
Make very thin slices to make it into very small pieces
We used to cut the mangoes in large size for the normal pickle
But for this pickle,we should cut the mangoes into tiny pieces which makes the pickle looks better and tastes better
Being an instant pickle it can dissolve well in the salt only if we cut it into tiny pieces
Now cut them again in this way
Don;t forget to check the taste of the skin before you start cutting it
See!!We have cut the mango into very small pieces like this
With a sharp knife we can cut them very easily into small pieces
DOn;t forget to wash and wipe the water well before cutting it
Let's separate the mango pieces from one another like this
Transfer them into a bowl
SO I've cut both the mangoes into tiny pieces here
If you have enough time,you can do all the mixing part together.Otherwise,you can follow the method that I'm going to show you now
Now,I'm going to mix it with some salt and keep it closed for 1 hour
After that we we will mix rest of the masala powders into it
Let's add the salt now.So that the mangoes absorbs the salt very well and hence the water from the mangoes oozes out
You may add rock salt or the powder salt as you like
Now mix it properly with your hands
The mango should have a little sourness to taste the pickle better
Let's keep it aside for 1 hour and do further procedures after that
1 hour is done and we can see the water that oozed out from the mangoes
Let's add the powders into it
As I mentioned,it doesnt require any sauteing but mixing only
Let's add the normal chilli powder into it.I haven't roasted it and I'm adding it as it is
Kashmiri chilli powder is not used in this  instant sadya mango pickle
Let me add 4 tbsp of chilli powder into it and can add extra chilli powder later if required
Now add 1/2 tsp of fenugreek powder.I've roasted the fenugreek seeds and powdered it
If you are using the powder directly,just roast it before adding
In the same way add 1/2 tsp of roasted asafoetida powder.
Now mix them all properly.For sadya,we used to mix it with our hand and we could feel the tempting smell while mixing it
It requires extra chilli powder so let me add 1 more tbsp of chilli powder into it.So in total I've added 5 tbsp of chilli powder
Usually we don;t add turmeric powder in this pickle
We can make adjustments later after mixing
Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil which gives it a special flavor.In all other pickle we used to add gingelly oil
Now let me add 4 green chillies chopped,1 string of chopped curry leaves and 1 tsp of chopped ginger.Ginger is optional
Ginger is not added in this pickle in some places.It varies from place to place
It won;t mix well if we do it with a ladle.SO let me mix it now with my hand itself
You can use a spoon or use a glove to mix it.Make sure your hand is neat and dry before mixing it
Hand mixing makes it easier to blend together
I feel like having a bowl full of rice getting this smell
The smell of pickle is very tempting to everyone
Adding 3 tbsp of vinegar now
Some people only add vinegar and do not add water
But I used to add boiled and cooled water into it.Then only you will get some gravy content in the pickle
As I mentioned,its an instant pickle and we cannot preserve it for longer period
So it won;t get spoiled even if you add water into it
Let me add some boiled and cooled water into it
Mix well
Do not add more water.
If you add extra vinegar instead of water,the level of sourness of the pickle increases
If you don;t want to add water,you may add extra vinegar
The level of water content increases when it sits for some time
I've added 1/4 glass of water in total
Stop adding water until you get a consistency like this
We have added salt in the beginning.So let's check the salt once again and add extra if required
Also add extra vinegar if required
Here the spiciness is perfect but requires some extra salt
Just to enhance the taste let me add a pinch of sugar into it
I don;t want to tell you the amount of salt because people prefer different levels for salt
I felt the smell of coconut oil is not sufficient so let me add one more tbsp of coconut oil into it
You can add gingelly oil if you want.But being a sadya pickle,we usually add coconut oil in it
I've seen some people seasoning it with mustard seeds and curry leaves
But in sadya pickle,we don;t add seasoning in it
We used to mix the whole ingredients together on the previous day and serve it in the sadya on the next day
By that time,everything will be blend together
If you have a sadya at home,you can prepare it on the previous night or afternoon
The left over pickle can be stored in the fridge and do not keep it at room temperature
Now check the taste and make necessary adjustments accordingly
I've added 3 tbsp of vinegar only.Now let me check the taste once again
Adding 1 more tbsp of vinegar so in total 4 tbsp of vinegar has been added
If you feel like the spiciness is high,it becomes perfect when it sits for some time
Now its perfect for me
So the yummy instant sadya pickle is ready here
Its the season for mango and it is available to everyone
Do try this
Do try it with only 1 mango
And send your feedback
I cant control myself now
This pickle has been prepared a day before
Now I felt like the smell of fenugreek and asafoetida is lacking in the pickle
SO let me add 1/4 tsp of fenugreek powder into it now.It may vary from person to person.So do it accordingly
Adding extra asafoetida powder and mixing it well
Now its perfect.We can understand the exact taste only when we keep it for a day after mixing
The consistency is also perfect
Do not keep it at room temperature and always store it in the fridge
Never complain me after spoiling it by keeping it at room temperature
Let me check the taste now
Feel like having a whole sadya
We would eat a lot of rice if we have this pickle at home
And that's why I didn't make it often
I was planning to make this pickle for a few days  but didn't get good mangoes
Yesterday I got good mangoes and hence I had decide to make this pickle without any delay
I hope this is the perfect time to make this pickle
Do try it and send your feedback
See you all with another yummy recipe .Till then thank you soo much...
