Vadu maanga or Mavadu is a traditional spicy pickle of South India..!!
This is also a Summer special appetizing recipe, as baby mangoes are available during the commencement of summer season. The tender mangoes tastes great, when it is soaked in freshly prepared spices.
Preparing this pickle at home is very simple and easy.
Here is the recipe to make spicy Vadu Maanga in a traditional way..!
Ingredients:

Turmeric pwd - 1 tsp
Gingely oil - 2 tbsp
Powdered salt - as required
Mustard seeds - 1 tbsp
Fenugreek sedds - 1 tbsp
Red chilly pwd - 1 or 1 ½ tsp
Method:
Wash clean the Vadumangai ( baby mangoes ) and keep it aside in a bowl.
Dry it with a cotton cloth. ( make sure it is completely dry, if the mangoes are wet, then it will get rotten soon )
Mix gingely oil well to this dry mangoes, so that each mango is coated with oil. To this add powdered rock salt. Add turmeric pwd. Shake the mangoes well for the mixture to mix with the vadmangaai. Keep it aside for a day. Grind mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds to powder and mix it with the red chilly pwd. Mix it with the oiled mangoes.

Don't add any water, the pickle itself turns little watery. Twice a day ( morning evening ) stir the vadumangai for the uniform spread of the mixture. It starts giving an awesome flavor. The outer skin of the mango starts wrinkling, this is the right time to start using the pickle. The delicious vadumangai is ready to serve. It tastes lipsmaking with Curd rice / Thayir sadham. Enjoy the spicy tonguetickling taste of Mavadu. It can be stored in airtight container for shelf life.

this pickle in large quantity preserve in ceramic jars, that
can be used for many months.
Use freshly grind spices, as it tastes great.
Select tiny, tender raw mangoes with stems for this pickle.
