In my next posts I am going to cover some more recipes on pickles involving raw mangoes. I know the season has ended here since it is raining and monsoons have started. But then I will keep on posting so that may be it may be of use for next year. Any way these days we are able to buy Mangoes almost through out the year, though a bit costly.
