Mango Nuvulu Avakai

Ingredients:
2 cups mango chunks with seed
Red Chilli Powder 1 cup
White Sesame Seeds Powder 1 cup
Salt 3/4 cup
Sesame Oil 1 cups
Method :
Wash, clean and pat dry mango.
Cut the raw mangoes with the seed into big chunks.
We have to remove the white seed inside the seed of the mango.
If the mango is not sour enough, reduce the quantity of salt.
In a clean mixing bowl, mix raw mango chunks, red chilli powder, nuvulu seeds powder and salt together with half a cup of oil.
Then transfer all the mixed ingredients in to a clean sterilized jar.
Leave the jar for 3 days and on 4th day add remaining oil until most of the mango chunks are soaked.
Seal the jar with a muslin cloth and leave it 5 - 10 days for the pickle to develop.
If taken care to use dry utensils and to not expose to humidity (moisture spoils the pickle), the pickle stays fresh for a year.
Notes: Grind the raw white nuvulu to fine powder.This powder is used as nuvulu seeds powder in this pickle.
