Raw Mango Pickle

This is my favourite pickle and goes well with any dish. As we use a lot of oil and salt it is not necessary to refrigerate it. It stays good for 1-2 months when stored in airtight jars. My mom used to prepare 3-4 bottles of this pickle during the mango season when we were kids. Once prepared we ate the pickle with dosas, idlis, chapathis and all type of rices. Until it is finished we do not turn to any other side dish my mom prepares. It is such a nice pickle and it brings back nice memories.
