. Anyway I was carried away when my mom explained the ingredients and the one thing which made to dive into this was the garbanzo. I was in fact totally surprised when she told me to add dry garbanzo and I asked her a zillion times whether it would really soften . Well it actually did soften and the pickle has become my favorite.
Ingredients
3 cups raw mango chopped
1/3 cup red chilly powder
1/3 cup salt
1/2 cup garlic pods
1/2 cup dry garbanzo (chickpeas)
1 cup oil
Notes
1. This pickle does not need refrigeration. Always take care to use a dry spoon. Moisture will cause the pickle to spoil.
Method
Take the chopped mangoes in a non-reactive bowl.
Add chilly powder.
Add salt.
Add dry chickpeas (garbanzo).
Add garlic pods. Slice the garlic pods if they are big.
Add oil.
Toss it all together. Remember to use a dry spoon. Keep aside for 10 days and toss it once each day.
You will see the oil beginning to float on top after a couple of days. This is after 10 days.
Yummy pickle ready. The chickpeas mellow down and become soft and the garlic takes on the tangy taste of mangoes. Overall this is the pickle I am reaching out everyday.
This pickle does not need refrigeration.
Enjoy!
