Mangai Thokku is a pickle made from raw mango. It’s packed with flavors from mango and red chili. It’s made from freshly made ground masala with no artificial preservatives and it tastes very good. Unlike Milagai Mangai (Chopped Mango Pickle), the mango will be grated and cooked along with spices. Mangai Thokku is a great accompaniment for curd rice and even for Idli / Dosa.

For any pickle we should be generous in spice and salt and for any sweet we should be generous in adding sugar / jaggery. This is one of the secret advice given by my MIL. Keeping that in mind, I have made this spicy and mouth-watering Mangai Thokku (grated Raw Mango Pickle).

Notes

Always store in air-tight container and use a dry spoon every time you serve. Do not put a silver spoon inside the pickle container it will become black and the pickle will be spoiled.
Instead of grating mango we can slice it and cook
Refrigerate the pickle to keep it fresh and use it for 3 months
Adjust the spice level according to the sourness of raw mango
