Stir fried Aubergine, seasoned with North Indian Hing Mango pickle By
The Hing mango pickle is rarely found in a store, but is a staple in every home in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India. Raw mangoes pickled in salt and asafetida, allowed to cook in the hot May sun, makes it a long shelf life food, and lasts a whole year or more. Most gardens in old bunglaws still have a mango tree or two, even in cities like Lucknow or Varanasi. Even as these mango trees attract the Koel or Indian cuckoo, kids, squirrels, bees, butterflies and birds love the tree just as much.  In an Ayurvedic thaali, this pickle contributes one of the six tastes, the sour. Hing mango pickle requires no artificial preservative. I loved using this pickle in a stir fry.
