Raw mango pickle,Instant mango pickle recipe

Instant mango pickle

    Instant mango pickle recipe,raw mango oorugai,a  simple mango pickle recipe that goes well with curd rice and I love to eat this with  to have them with Bisibelabath. We call it as venthaya maangai or kalyana maanga oorugai. The crunchiness of the maanga with the fresh spices gives a nice taste to this pickle. Even we used to have a spoon of raw mango pickle with our evening coffee or tea. In our home we all are a big fan of this Instant pickle. In Singapore, we get Raw mango throughout the year. Now comes the recipe for the RAW MANGO PICKLE.

         I always love to eat to pizza , but now a days since i am so conscious about my diet i am avoiding pizza. Another thing is we don’t get more choice for vegetarians  here in pizza hut also.

     I just made 3 slices and eat that for my lunch. I didn’t add more cheese as we add for pizza. Check out my Microwave bread pizza and tortilla pizza recipe too.

KACHORI RECIPE , A POPULAR STREET FOOD

KACHORIS STUFFED WITH MOTH DAL.
kachori
  Two years back when my neighbour called us for dinner, she made these kachoris and that was extremely awesome. After that i tried that once, but that doesn't turn out so well and i couldn’t get the texture  and crispiness. Then after 2 years i tried out this  and that turned out real yum and so crispy.
  I used MOTH DAL for stuffing . You can also make Kachori with moong dal stuffing and peas kachori. 
The key for this recipe is making the stuffing very dry and frying the kachoris in the oil.
