Notes
Do not fry the pieces too much, because the pulp of the mango pieces will become thinner
Try to use a fresh raw mango, because the pieces of such a mango cook fast. Store the pickle in the refrigerator as soon as the pickle cools. This way, you can relish the pickles over time. The instant mango pickle should remain in a good condition for about four weeks.
Use only a dry spoon, each time you want to take the instant mango pickle from the bottle or other container in which these will be stored.
