The story highlights the love for pickles among the people of Gujarat, where it is common to find multiple jars of pickles in households. Summer is the season for preparing pickles to last throughout the year, and there is a trend for diet pickles as well. The recipe provided includes ingredients like raw mango, oil, cumin, fenugreek spice, and salt. The process involves cutting the mango, mixing it with salt, letting it rest, and then adding spices and oil to create a flavorful pickle that can last for 15-20 days. The renowned chef Tarla Dalal emphasizes the importance of making spicy raw mango pickle during summer, ensuring that the mango is properly dried before preparation, to prevent spoilage. The freshly made pickles should be packed in airtight jars and stored at room temperature for two days before refrigerating to ensure longevity. Other ingredients like tindora, grapes, cucumber, or kabuli chana can also be used as alternatives for the pickle.
