Puja shared an easy recipe for Mango Chicken pickle on her Instagram handle. To make mango chicken pickle, take a pan and roast whole spices - cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom, on low flame for 2-3 minutes. Once done, grind them to a fine powder. Now take boneless chicken pieces and wash them.
In a pan, heat some oil and add boneless chicken pieces to it. Fry for 5-6 minutes before adding ginger garlic paste to it. Mix everything and let the meat cook for another 10 minutes. Once the meat changes colour, turn off the stove and let the meat cool. Remove it in a bowl and add grated raw mango, turmeric powder, salt, red chilli powder, and prepared masala in the meat. Mix all the ingredients well and set aside for 8-10 hours or overnight. And it's done!
Several users asked Korupu questions about her mango chicken pickle recipe.
One user asked, "How many days can we store this pickle, please?" To this, digital creator Korupu replied, "It stays up to 1 month if refrigerated properly in an airtight container."
Another user asked if there was any other alternative to using sesame oil in the recipe. To this, Korupu responded and shared that instead of sesame oil, you can use groundnut oil.
