This is how I saved a mango pickle from getting smelly. Mango pickles with onion get spoiled easily. But it's a popular type of pickle in our cousin. We call it 'mashed mango pickle' or 'onion mango pickle'. Usually, adding a lot of vinegar and mustard oil to keep this good for a long time. Unfortunately, my mashed mango pickle got some whitish yeast on the top this time after a week or so. The yeast amount was only an amount of a teaspoon but I knew it will spoil the whole pickle. So I decided to re-cook it. Let me share the process.
I picked up the yeast part with a spoon. You may think that it's not safe to eat anymore. But believe me, it doesn't. As regular home cooks, we know when to throw food, right? Anyway, after picking off the bad parts; we need to put the pickle on a pan with a lot of mustard oil.
Also, I added some bay leaves and dried red chili. As my pickle already has all types of spices so I didn't add any more. If you are looking for a pickle recipe, then you can easily find that on YouTube. Fast forward, I poured the pickle and cook it for several minutes. Then added a tablespoon of vinegar, and some more sugar to balance the taste. After cooking on low flame for another few minutes, it reduces the watery texture and came to a sticky one. Also, the oil separates. This is when we need to turn off the heat and it's ready to preserve or eat instantly. *I forgot to capture the photo after putting the pickle in a glass jar. To be honest, it became so tasty after recooking it. We ate in in just a few days. We didn't fall sick, so don't worry.* I'm sharing these tips so you can decide whether or not you need to follow this. Have a good day, everyone.

oh, thats why I think so too. Thak you
I'm curious how does it taste like, I never tried to eat mango pickle ever since.
A bit tangy, with sweetness and a punch of sour as well. That's the best I can explain with words. You can try making it at home if green mangoes are available there. It's so easy and tastes so good.
I am not a fan of mangoes but for sure this dish is a winner! I prefer the green mangoes with chilis only.
Mango pickle tastes really good. I love it. You can try it this way. Who knows maybe you will love it too.
