Vaadu Maanga / Maa Vadu / Tender Mangoes

Vaadu Maanga urugai can be had with plain curd rice or even just with plain rice. The early summer season is the season for these tender mangoes. Made this pickle over the weekend.

Things required:

Tender Mangoes ( Round) - 1 Kilo
Red Chillies ( Dried) - 30
Mustard - 50 gms
Salt - To taste
Castor Oil - To coat the tender mangoes.

Method:

First rinse the tender mangoes with plenty of water and then dry them in shade. Wipe off till dry then put then in a big container. Pour castor oil and nicely shake the container so that the tender mangoes get coated. Soak the redchillies for about 15 mins, then grind them to a paste along with mustard and salt. Add this paste to the mangoes and let them marinate for about 4 days.
