This is a delicious sweet mango pickle or chunda which is basically sweet with a hint of sourness and mildly hot.It is a quick version of the traditional pickle from Western India where mangoes are grated ,mixed with sugar and spices and kept in the sun for few days for sugar to melt and become sticky making the grated mangoes transparent. This recipe is an instant version where mangoes are cooked on stove top with sugar and spices .
