Mango Thokku – easy South Indian pickle prepared with grated raw mangoes.
Its summer time and its the season for mangoes. Totally love the delicious ripe mangoes. Apart from the ripe ones, raw mangoes are available in plenty during this season.
Sour, green raw mangoes are used to make mango pickle, one of the most popular pickles.
Home-made pickles always seem to taste better than the ready-made ones. I ended up preparing this delicious South Indian grated mango thokku pickle.
This pickle goes well with curd rice, parathas, dosas, bread or as as side dish for rice.
