Goan Tender Mangoes in Brine (Chepni Tora) – Ready to Serve

To prepare Goan Tender Mangoes in Brine, the mangoes are thoroughly washed and then soaked in a brine solution. The brine solution typically includes water, salt, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, turmeric, and sometimes other spices like asafoetida or red chili powder. The mangoes are placed in jars or ceramic containers, covered with the brine solution, and left to ferment for several weeks or months.

During the fermentation process, the mangoes undergo a transformation, acquiring a distinct sour and tangy flavor while retaining their crunchiness. The resulting pickled mangoes can be enjoyed as a condiment or accompaniment to various dishes. They add a burst of tanginess and complexity to meals and are particularly delicious when paired with rice, dal, curries, or Indian breads.

Goan Tender Mangoes in Brine are a beloved part of Goan cuisine and are enjoyed as a traditional delicacy during the mango season. They offer a unique and flavorful way to enjoy the tangy goodness of mangoes, even when they are not fully ripe.
