RAW MANGO THOKKU:

This is the most favourite pickle for me and my family. Usually this is prepared with ‘ Ottu maangai ’ which is also called as ‘ Kili mookku maangai’. I always combine oorukai mangai with this to give a most delicious taste. The raw mango used for this pickle should be firm and a little sweeter.
