Nothing like making mango pickle at home. The flavour is much better than the pickles available in the market. Here is a simple mango pickle recipe called the mango thokku. Mango thokku is quite popular in West and South India. Making pickles at home always sounds like a huge task. But I can bet this mango pickle recipe is simple, and less time consuming. Mango thokku tastes best with parathas.
