Maangai Thokku | Raw Mango Preserve


Share with friends and family

Raw mangoes are used in various forms like pickles,Aam Panna,chundha(sweet and spicy pickle),thokku which can be preserved for a long time and used all round the year.
Ladies of the house pick the choicest of the raw mangoes and start with the pickling process very meticulously and take utmost care to get the best output.
This thokku can be easily made very easily and with very few ingredients and does not involve very elaborate process like making pickles. The total time to prepare this thokku takes about 45 min for the quantity I am mentioning below. The recipe can be doubled easily if you are making it in bulk.
With the thokku being handy we can make yummy Maangai Saadham / Mango Rice at any time of the year when we crave for mangoes.I shall post the recipe for Maangai Saadham soon in the blog.
