Grated Raw Mango Pickle

My Punjabi aunty gave me lots of raw mangoes. I thought that this time I will try lots of pickle recipes. Last time I tried the Punjabi raw mango chutney  under auntys guidance and raw mango pickle which was what I had learnt from my Mom. It turned superb. This time I am doing more research. I did some Goan Raw Mango sweet chutney which my hubby has regularly with chapatis. I also tried this Grated Raw Mango Pickle.

• 1 tablespoon Salt / as per taste
• 2 teaspoon Mustard seeds
