Quick mango pickle

As this is a summer season, with plenty of mangoes available..it's time to make mango pickle and enjoy..
Mangoes - 2 medium size raw mangoes
Fenugreek seeds - 1/2 tea spoon
Chilli powder- 3 to 4 teaspoons
Gingelly oil - 100ml
Salt to taste
Pinch of Asafoetida

Preparation
Wash the mangoes and wipe them dry. Chop them into small pieces..
put the salt in mango pieces and toss frequently.  Keep it overnight. We can see water which has oozed from the mango salt mixture. We can sundry this for few days so that this water gets evaporated. In this case the pickle will last for a long time. Otherwise, proceed  to complete the pickle.
Heat the oil.. put the fenuGreek seeds , add aasafoetida.. then mango, add  the chilli powder, salt and cook it gor 7 to 10 minutes with  frequent tossing.
Cool the pickle and store it in refrigerator and use.. If you plan to finish it in one or two days, it can be kept outside. If you want instant pickle, you can skip the procedure of  keeping the mango with salt over night.
