Deep Hot Mango Pickle Relish In Oil
What it is
This is a traditional Indian condiment made from finely chopped raw mangoes preserved in a blend of aromatic spices and oil. It offers a vibrant, tangy, and spicy flavor profile. The oil acts as a preservative and helps to meld the flavors of the mango and spices together. It is typically served in small quantities to enhance the taste of main dishes.
How people cook with it
This relish is a versatile accompaniment to a variety of Indian meals. It adds a punch of flavor and heat to simple dishes.
- With rice and dal
- Alongside flatbreads

To enjoy this relish, simply open the jar and serve a small spoonful alongside your meal. It is ready to eat straight from the container. It can be added to yogurt-based raitas for a spicy kick or mixed into simple vegetable stir-fries to introduce a complex flavor. A tiny bit can also be used to marinate meats or paneer before cooking, infusing them with its characteristic tang and heat. Experiment with small amounts to discover your favorite applications.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike milder chutneys, this pickle relish is characterized by its distinct sourness from the raw mango and a pronounced spiciness. The oil-based preservation method gives it a richer, more intense flavor and a longer shelf life compared to water-based relishes. The texture is also typically chunkier.
Who it is for
Home cooks and food enthusiasts who enjoy bold, traditional Indian flavors will appreciate this relish.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the jar tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Ensure that the mango pieces are always submerged in oil to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Refrigeration is not typically required if stored properly in a cool, dark environment.
