On the third day heat oil in a kadai and splutter  mustard seeds and curry leaves ..

Lower the flame and then add finely chopped ginger ,garlic and green chilly.

Saute till the raw smell goes ..

Now add chilly powder,turmeric powder,asafoetida powder and fenugreek powder and saute for 2 seconds

Add vinegar and water into the powders and mix well ..Allow to boil .

Turn off the fire , remove and keep aside ..

When cool add those mango pieces  that we kept aside .

Keep this tasty pickle in a tight container ..If the oil seems to less add boiled and cooled oil to the top of the pickle .

This will prevent fungus ..
