Manga thokku is a famous instant pickle made in South India. It is spicy and goes well with rice or any flat bread. Usually the skin is removed from the mango to reduce the bitterness but this time I did not remove the skin and added jaggery to have a combination of sweet and spicy flavor in the pickle.
