Mango Pickles

A reader friend of 'Abhiruchi', Rupali Nemade had requested for the recipes of different types of pickles. So today I am sharing the recipes for. 2 different types of mango pickles.
         Last week, my parents came here to visit us from India. So our house is filled with all the lovely goodies sent by our near and dear ones back home. One of my favourite thing among those  are the raw mangoes from the tree in the backyard of our house in India. The fragrance and sight of these green mangoes literally makes me drool!! So whole last week we are being pampered by my mum with yummy mango items made by her like different types of Pickles,chutneys and Aam Panna!!
