Mango Kutcha
"Mango Pickle"

Method:

1. Wash the mangoes. Coarsely grate into a bowl. Traditionally, the mango is crushed in a mortar and pestle. Kutcha (kountch) means crushed.
   
2. Blend the turmeric powder into the vinegar to make a paste. 
   
3. Over medium heat, put the mustard oil in a saucepan large enough to contain the mango kutcha. Stir fry the crushed ginger, garlic and sliced red chillies. Cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and turmeric mixture. Mix well. Add the finely chopped onions and cook for 2-3 minutes.
   
4. Add the grated mango to the fried mixture. Add the crushed mustard seeds. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add salt to taste.
   
5. Serve hot or allow to cool down. Recommended as an accompaniment for dhal purees.
   
   
6. Enjoy.
