Ingredients
- 350 g mango ginger peeled and cut
- 120 ml wood pressed oil ½ cup
- 25 g roasted mustard powder 3 tbsp
- 30 g Guntur red chilli powder 4 tbsp
- 8 g fenugreek powder 2 tsp
- 3 g turmeric powder 1 tsp
- 18 g sea salt 1 tbsp
- 20 g garlic peeled and lightly crushed (about 6 to 8 cloves, 1 tbsp)
Instructions
- Peel the mango ginger, then pat it completely dry.

- Add the mango ginger pieces and toss until every piece is well coated.
- Add the crushed garlic and mix again.
- Pour in the wood pressed oil and stir until everything looks evenly glossy.
- Rest it for 30 minutes so the spices start soaking in.
- Transfer to a clean, fully dry glass jar and press it down lightly.
- Make sure a thin layer of oil sits on top; add 1 to 2 tablespoon extra oil if needed.
- Eat right away, or let it sit a few hours for a stronger, more settled flavor.
Notes
Ingredient swaps
- Mango ginger can be replaced with regular ginger, but the flavor will be sharper and less mango-like.
- Wood pressed oil can be replaced with sesame oil or any neutral oil used for pickles.
- Guntur red chilli powder can be replaced with Kashmiri red chili powder for less heat and more color.
- Pat the mango ginger completely dry before mixing to help the pickle last longer.
- Mix the spice powders well first, then coat the pieces so the flavor stays even.
- Make sure a thin oil layer stays on top to protect the pickle.
- Store in a clean, dry airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2–3 weeks.
- Always use a dry spoon and keep the jar tightly closed.
- Add a small spoonful on the side of any simple meal for a spicy, tangy kick.
- Use it as a quick flavor boost inside wraps or sandwiches.
- Add a little lemon juice for extra tang, then adjust salt slightly.
- Add more crushed garlic for a stronger bite.
- Add a small pinch of jaggery for a soft sweet-spicy balance.
