            TIPS WHILE MAKING PICKLES

 

Always keep in mind that mango pieces need to be wiped dry. After you wash the mango and cut in into pieces, wipe it dry with a cloth and let it dry for a while, or the pickle can get spoilt.

 

After the pickle is made, on the fourth or fifth day, place it into a wide vessel. Mix well with a long ladle that is clean and dry. Also, add more oil so that it covers the entire pickle as it helps preserve it.

 

The best way to get a long lasting and delicious pickle is to use ingredients which are fresh and clean. Whether it is the mangoes or even the chilli powder or the other ingredients, make sure everything is fresh.
