Fully matured fresh raw mangoes/lime are washed and cut into uniform sizes. To this, known quantity of salt is added, mixed thoroughly and allowed to cure properly. Subsequently, it is drained through a sieve and the drained cured mango/lime pieces are dried to the desired moisture level.

Cleaned and dried spices like red chillies, turmeric and mustard, are ground separately and are mixed with the cured and dried mango/lime pieces and packed in polythene bag.

The ready mix is soaked overnight in water to get the pickle ready for use.
