Yes edigital, pickles has a great taste when you eat it with daal sawal and sabji:). In this case the pickle give a totally new taste to the whole meal. I like Indian pickle with all kind of vegetarian dishes. Some of my favourite pickles are mango pickle, awala pickle, olive pickle etc. But here in USA I have to buy it, can't make at home. I buy some very tasty pickle from Indian grocery. But home made pickles are more tasty.

Thanks sweetlady, you know how to eat pickles with daal. I eat mango or lemon or chilly pickles with daal specially at too hot days and rainy days. I have relation in USA to whom I send mango and lemon pickles by DHL and by person. Indian mango more sweet than bangladesh and available round the year which I purchase each month.

Summer fruit are huge say mango, jackfruit, water melon, bungee. You can make mango pickles following this -
Ingredients
1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) raw green mangoes
150 grams (5 ounces) salt
1.5 (one and a half) tablespoon turmeric
3 tablespoons ground red pepper (or to taste)
150 grams (5 ounces) fennel seeds
100 grams (3.3 ounces) fenugreek seeds
30 grams (1 ounce) onion seeds
350 grams (12 ounces) Mustard oil (or enough to cover mangoes)
(optional) 12 hot red chili peppers, cut in large pieces
To make it
Wash the mangoes and dry thoroughly. Cut into small pieces (approx 1 inch size). Do not remove the inner seed. (If the mangoes are large the innermost seed will fall out when you cut it - this part can be discarded, but the part if the seed that is stuck to the fruit itself should not be removed.) Green mangoes are a bit tough to cut, so use a large sharp knife, and watch those fingers! My experience is that the seed will usually cut easier in one direction than the other, in particular if you set the mango "on edge" it will cut easier. Some experimentation should establish this quickly. If you have to use excessive force then you are doing it wrong.
Grind Fennel and Fenugreek seeds coarsely in a grinder. Mix all ingredients in a big container.
Cover with a cheese cloth and place in a sunny window for 3 to 5 days. After that period transfer to a clean, dry glass jar, close tightly and store in a cool dry place.
Mango pickle should be eaten in small quantities. It has a hot and sour taste.
