About Instant Mango Pickle

Summer time is pickles time !! Summer time is mango time !! For my granny & mom.. pickle making , papad making etc used to be favorite summer pass time. I am sure story was same in most houses. The evening conversations between ladies would usually start from ” which pickle you made this time ? Did you get fresh raw mangoes ? …. etc “. I know most of us have beautiful childhood memories associated with pickles in summer vacations recalling which makes us nostalgic. The lady of the house would take pride in making various types of pickles in big big containers and storing and serving them for a year long . No meal would be complete without them .

But now , in our hectic lifestyle ..who has the time or patience to make them at home . We either buy them ready ( trying to become ignorant of artificial colors and preservatives it has ) or rely on our mom/ MIL for the yearly supply. But are we not depriving our next generation from the sweet memories of summer , pickles etc unlike us ?? Something to ponder isn’t it ?So today i have for you all “ Instant Mango Pickle / Kochichida Mavinakayi Uppinakayi ” , making which is very very easy ,simple and quick , but taste wise very very yummy with amazing flavours . After you try this Instant Mango Pickle , you will agree with me ” Pickle making always needn’t be an elaborate ritual …” .
