Fill in a jar, pour all the left over spices on the mangoes, keep in the sun for 8-10 days. A very special aroma will arise from the pickle as the mangoes will ooze juices in the sun. This pickle is very tasty & is specially recommended to be eaten along with rice. This pickle is very sour. Oil is not used to prepare the pickle.
