Easy mango pickle (Avasara mangai oorugai)

Easy mango pickle - preparation time 5 mins
When you don't have pickle you can make this pickle with 5 mins if raw mango is available. Mom used to make this pickle during mango season. Mostly it won't last for 1 day also, because it will be tasty and we will consume it as snack.

Ingredients:-
Raw mango - 1 cup chopped to small cubes (Slightly sweet Ottumangai is preferable)
Red chili powder - 1 tsp
Salt - as per taste
Sesame oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard seed - 1/4 tsp
Turmeric - a pinch
Roasted fenugreek powder - 1/4 tsp (if not available take little fenugreek)

Preparation method:-
In a bowl mix mango pieces, turmeric, chili powder, salt along with sesame oil.
Heat a tawa, add little oil, mustard to splutter. Switch of the flame add fenugreek powder roast slightly and add the mango and spice mixture.
Mix well and use it. Tasty when taken with curd rice.
You can refrigerate and use for 2 to 3 days. Try not to use for longer days as we haven't added any preservative.
