Ingredients

Premium Mangoes

Only the finest, ripest mangoes are selected for our Sweet Mango Pickle. These mangoes are handpicked at the right stage of ripeness to ensure they offer the perfect balance of sweetness and texture.

Sugar and Jaggery

The unique sweetness of our pickle comes from a blend of natural sugars and jaggery. This combination not only enhances the flavor but also imparts a rich, caramel-like undertone that complements the tartness of the mangoes.

Traditional Indian Spices

The spices used in our Sweet Mango Pickle are meticulously sourced from the best farms across India to ensure purity and potency. Key spices include:

• Fenugreek Seeds: Impart a slightly bitter, nutty flavor that balances the sweetness.
• Mustard Seeds: Add a mild heat and earthy undertone.
• Fennel Seeds: Contribute a sweet, licorice-like flavor.
• Nigella Seeds: Known for their unique, pungent flavor.
• Red Chili Powder: Provides a gentle heat that enhances the overall flavor without overpowering the sweetness.
• Turmeric: Adds a warm, earthy taste and imparts a vibrant golden hue to the pickle.

Preparation Method

Step 1: Mango Processing

The process begins with washing and cutting the mangoes into uniform pieces. This ensures that each piece absorbs the spices and flavors uniformly during the pickling process.

Step 2: Marination

The mango pieces are then marinated with salt and turmeric, allowing them to release moisture, which is essential for the initial fermentation process. This step also helps soften the mango pieces and infuse them with the initial layer of flavor.

Step 3: Cooking Syrup

A sugary syrup is prepared using a combination of sugar and jaggery, which not only sweetens the mangoes but also acts as a natural preservative. The syrup is carefully simmered to achieve the right consistency, ensuring it coats each mango piece perfectly.

Step 4: Spices Integration

The pre-ground spices are added to the syrup, followed by the marinated mangoes. This mixture is then cooked on a slow flame, allowing the flavors to meld together and penetrate deep into the mango pieces.

Step 5: Maturation

Once cooked, the mixture is transferred to sterilized glass jars and left to mature. This maturation process is crucial as it allows the mango pieces to absorb the flavors fully, and the spices to mellow, resulting in a well-balanced pickle.
