Before starting pickle make sure any ingredient doesn't contain any moisture

So on a cotton cloth spread table salt and let it dry under sun

Wash raw mangoes thoroughly and clean water on raw mangoes with cloth and place them on a cloth and let them dry but not under the sun

If mangoes are dried under sun they may get riped

Cut mangoes along with peel into large pieces make sure you remove mango seed and a thin layer of paper which is present on mango

Mix all dried spices that is red chilly powder, salt, mustard powder

Place all mango pieces and add turmeric powder and pour little oil over pieces and mix well them so that mango pieces don't turn soft

Now gradually add dry powder mix and mix well so that spices get mixed with mango

Now add oil again until all mango pieces get drowned in oil and add fenugreek seeds

Let this pickle soaked and in oil and spices for atleast 7 days after 7 days check the oil level as we added salt juice from mango enter into oil and it may become dry and spices may get absorbed by this mango pulp so check taste by eating this pickle along with rice and add spices and oil and allow it to stay for another two days later it can be transfered into jar

This can be served for 1 year and it is moatly prepared in summer season that is in the month of april or may
