My maa used to make so many types of pickle and among all of them my favorite one is Sweet Raw Mango Pickle with shell. Basically she learnt the recipe from my grandmother. The basic ingredients are Raw Mango with shell, and jagerry. And if you keep the pickle in a glass bottle then you can keep this for long. Sweet pickle is more popular in West Bengal rather than the other part of India. If you are a pickle lover then you are sure going to love this.
