For me, it's an instant sweet and raw mango pickle, I have used skin of raw mangoes, because I want to enjoy the whole mango pieces. The actual recipe used skin also..if you don't want you can peel the skin also. The skin of raw mangoes won't so soft as mango pickles after making but after few days it becomes so soft.
This Green Mango bought all the memories back to me during my school days. The outside of school all stalls with cut green mangoes sprinkled with salt and red chilli powder were abundant back home.
