• Powder all roasted spices to a fine powder . Keep aside
  
• When mangoes get cooked , add  powedered masala powder and 2-3 tbsp of oil . If you have skipped roasting red chilli s, add red chilli powder too. Mix well so that everything combines well . Stir the thokku in between so that it doesn't get burnt .
  
• Keep the flame low and allow the thokku to combine well till the oil oozes out of the thokku.Switch off the stove . This may take around 10-15 mins on medium flame.
• That's it our spicy Mango Thokku is ready to enjoy. Store in air tight jar once its cooled to room temperature . Stays good for about 15-20 days without fridge and if refrigerated remains good for months together. Tastes awesome with idli , dosa, chapathi , bread, plain rice, curd rice etc.
  

Notes

1. Select raw , firm sour mangoes .
2. If you want you can add garlic too while tempering .
3. For much quicker version , you can replace the roasted spice powder with just chilli powder or fry mustard - methi and omit chilli . later add chilli powder .
4. The pickle when done should be more spicy , salty and tangy the first day . The taste will get balanced in next 2-3 days .
5. Don't add water while doing it and also fry nicely so that water is evaporated . This will increase the shelf life.
6. Use a clean dry spoon always and store in air tight container . Stays fresh and good for a long time. Can take it while travelling . It doesnt spoil .
