Pesara Manga| Kalyana Pesara Mangai Recipe | Instant Mango Pickle | Gluten Free and Vegan Recipe

Hi Supermoms,

'Pesara Manga' literally means 'spice mixed raw mango'. This instant mango pickle is quite popular in many Indian households. Also, it is a mandatory dish in the menu of most Tamil marriages. The pesara manga is a great accompaniment to curd rice. During summers, when the raw mango is available in plenty, I never fail to make this pickle. 

It is so simple to make and also tastes so good. I use Kashmiri red chilli powder that gives great colour to the pickle. 

A must try when you find raw mangoes.
