Mangai thokku / Sweet and Spicy Mango pickle
Mangai thokku is made using grated raw mango and it is a traditional pickle from Tamilnadu. Mangoes are everyone's favourite be it a raw mango or ripened one. We can make a lot of recipes using both raw and ripened mango. During Summer season, we can see lot of mangoes in the market. Using raw mango we can make different varieties of pickles. Mangai kari is all time favourite for me and my brother. If amma makes mangai thokku at home, then definitely we will eat double the amount of curd rice. The pickle will be sour, spicy and sweet. You will definitely enjoy eating this pickle. It also goes well with rotis and chappathis too.Some other pickles with mangoMangai kariPunjabi Mango pickleAvakkaiVadu MangaiMambazha pachadiMango rice
