Notes
Choosing the chilies depends on your taste. If you like hot and spicy pickles, go for the spicy chilies; if you prefer a less spicy pickle, go for the milder green chilies.
Some people’s skin is sensitive, and the chilies can cause burns on the palms. If you are one of those, try wearing gloves while handling the chilies. If you don’t have gloves, wash your hands immediately after handling them, and if the burning sensation persists, dip your palms in cold milk for 5 minutes.
Do not overcook the pickle. The chilies must be slightly crunchy.
You can replace dry mango powder with lime juice, but its shelf life will be reduced.
