Green Mango Pickle

Unripe mango, like unripe papaya, makes fine, firm, puckery pickles. The texture of the mango is yielding and squash-like. Leaving the skin intact helps give this a nice bite, and the warm Indian spices really make the bright flavors sing. Dollop it by the spoonful next to your curry and rice. Or stir it into plain yogurt. It’s refreshing and heavily spiced enough to wake up your mouth between bites of anything rich and fatty.
