Mango pickle
It's been a while since I got round to posting. I was so busy playing hostess that didn't get round to blogging. Who was my guest you ask? Well, it was the cold virus. I really don't know why it chose our humble abode for it's visit for we surely did nothing to invite it, but it came nevertheless and our entire household was held in it's sway. All three of us, DH, my son and me were down with bad colds, and if it were not for really kind neighbours who sent up meals for us, things would have been very difficult indeed. So after all that convalescing and not having any mood to do any cooking, and turning up bland, insipid stuff, today I decided to shake off the listlessness and made mango pickle. I made the pickle in small quantities as it wont stay for more than 2 weeks. although, ours generally gets over much before that. Mango pickle 2 raw mangoes 2-3 tsp salt 4-5 tsp chilli powder 3-4 tbsp pickle masala (recipe below) 1-2 cups sesame oil or any vegetable oil
