Ambuli Nonche ( Raw Mango Pickle)

One of my fav pickles is Raw Mango pickle and I rarely try any pickle but was absolutely hooked by this perfect recipe shared by my dear relative Chitra shenoy mayi it was perfect and tasted wow like one we get in local mangalore food stores and this tasted even better tasted like one served in konkani marriages ...too good and my hubby absolutely loved it ...Have already done it 3 times in a row when the pickle got empty :D.  The best thing about our typical style pickle is we do not add any oil yet tastes equally good ...So here is one Perfect no fail recipe Raw Mango Pickle . Please note Rock salt plays a key here do not substitute with regular salt else the shelf life will be reduced :)
