Namaskar...
# I am Sangeeta Agrawal and heartily welcome you at my food blog.
# During this summer season... we have already made "Asafoetida and Mango pickle" and "Dry Mango Pickle"
Today we will make the "Sweet Pickle of Raw Mangoes".
# "Sweet Mango Pickle" ( Aam Ka Metha Achar ) is cooked in 2 ways...either you can make it on fire instantly or in the sun light ( Dhoop mein paka ).
Now a days....there is a scorching heat...so we can take its benefit by cooking our mango pickle in the sun.
# The speciality of this pickle is that it can go long more than a year. You need no oil no cooking.
The other side is that it takes time to make 8 to 12 days depending upon the sun light.
In this recipe...I have made it in 8 days because I have much sunlight at my home.
# This pickle is super delicious and healthy. You need very few ingredients and spices. It is liked by everyone specially by children for its sweet and less spicy taste.
# Pickles not only enhances the taste of our food but also improves the digestion.
It tastes best with chapattis, Parantha, mathri, poori, rice etc.
Children just eat it plain because it is so.. yummy. You can place it in the lunch box of school going kids.

4. Put the pieces in a glass container and add 1 table spoon Sendha salt and turmeric powder...mix it and place it in the sun light ( Dhoop ) for 4 or 5 days as required till soft. Either Cover it with a thin cloth or its lid so that it could remain safe from any dust etc.

# Things To Consider...
1. For making any type of Sweet mango pickle...you can take a sweet variety of mangoes. It takes little sugar.
Otherwise " Kela Aam" ( Gola aam ) is called the best mangoes for making all types of pickles.
2. You can add more or less spices as your taste like red chilli powder etc.
# After cutting the slices of Raw Mangoes.... don't throw its seeds...just place it in the pressure cooker with 1 glass water. Let it boil till a whistle and 5 minutes more.
You can make a delicious and nutritious "Aam panna" by mashing and adding a little sugar, salt, roasted cumin powder, mint powder etc.
