Vadu Mangga (kugan)
[tscii]We make few kinds of pickles.
Those days it was only like lime, mango, lemon
nellikai and so on. Nowadys its fish, chicken,
prawns, anchovies and so on. I too used to make all that before :lol:
Well this vadu mangga recipe is specially dedicated to DEV.
VADU MANGGA
Ingredients:
25 tender young green mangoes
2 tbs gingelly oil (normally they use castor oil)
¼ cup salt
¾ cup red chillie powder
¼ cup mustard seeds powdered
Method:
Wash the mangoes and dry well.
Leave about quarter inch of stem intact.
Cut off the remaining stem.
Put the mangoes in a glass jar, pour the oil and shake
the jar so that the mangoes are coated with oil.
Now sprinkle the salt and do the same.
Now cover the jar tightly and set aside for four to five days.
Open the jar daily and stir the mangoes with a dry spoon.
After five days the mangoes would have absorbed the salt
and shrunk in size.
Mix the chillie and mustard powder and sprinkle over the mangoes.
Cover well and allow the pickle to absorb all the seasonings
for at least two weeks.
Serve with tayir saatham.

Chunda (kugan)
Here is a sweet mango pickle.
This recipe is by my friend Rushina. Thanks Rushina.
I have tweaked a little to suit me.
I love this pickle, its like jam.
CHUNDA
Ingredients:
250 grms of peeled and grated raw mango
375 grms of sugar
2 tbs salt
1 tsp tumeric powder
2 tbs chillie powder
1 tbs ground cumin seeds
Method:
Mix the grated mango, salt and tumeric powder and
Leave it for half an hour.
Now take a muslin cloth put the grated mango
And squeeze gently.
Now put the plup in a glass container, add the sugar
And mix well.
Tie a piece of muslin cloth over the mouth of the vessel
And place in the sun for a full 21 days.
That means it goes out every morning (after a stir) and
Comes in every evening.
You will know the pickle is done when the sugar has melted
To a syrup and reaches 1.5 string consistency.
When done add the chillie powder and cumin powder.
This pickle will resemble like orange marmalade.
If well sunned this pickle will keep for a year without refrigeration.
It goes well with chapatti , rice or as a sandwich spread.

Ennamangga (kugan)
This is another type of mango pickle.
Ennamaanga
Ingredients:
3 firm green mangoes medium size
Sesame oil for frying
2 tbs chillie powder
1 tbs fenugreek seeds dry roasted and powdered
1 tbs salt
Method:
Wash and wipe the mangoes. Cut them up into thin
Long pieces.
Heat the oil and fry the mango pieces until crispy.
Remove them from the oil and drain.
Combine the chillie powder and fenugreek powder.
Spread the mango pieces in a ceramic or glass jar.
Sprinkle with salt and mix well.
Now sprinkle the chillie, fenugreek powder and mix well.
Now pour about 3 tbs sesame oil on the top.
Once its cooled, put the lid and cover tightly.
It takes about 10 days for the mango pieces to absorb the
Salt and spices and become tender.
Note: If your mango is very fleshy, you can dry the pieces in the sun for a day before frying.
