Summer arrives and we all start making pickles and different types of preserves.The hot favorite is raw mango pickle,every one have their own recipe to make pickle,some follow their family recipe,some experiment with new spice combination and methods.
I usually make mango pickle in big batches which easily last for a year.My favorite pickle is Marwari chick pea and mango pickle and sweet and sour Aam ki launji is my favorite but my daughter loves the Punjabi Mango Pickle,so I make both during the season.
But some times I also make instant pickle in small quantity to change the taste.Instant mango pickle is very easy to make by using ready pickle masala.I have also posted the recipe of making Gujarati pickle masala which comes very handy to make any instant pickle. If you want to save the time of making pickle masala then readymade pickle masala of good brands are also very easily available in the market you can use them too.
