In a potluck last year, a dear friend Ravaly Chelimala treated us to raw mango rice in the month of October.

We are all stumped! How can you get raw mangoes in October?? Then she shared her secret about freezing the grated raw mango for the year round.

I waited for summers to come and learn how to do that from her. I didn’t just preserved for myself but also over 10 kilos for my mother.

While I was at my home town, it rained heavily bringing down kilos of mangoes and we put them to good use.

Only add salt to the raw mango for preserving for a longer period

The preserve stays for a long time in freezer. You can adjust the amount of salt used depending upon your preference. I have frozen it without salt too when I knew it would be used within few weeks.

If you have added salt to the preserve, then you would need to adjust salt to the dish you would add preserve to. It happens frequently that we tend to forget to adjust the salt and end up with over salty dish.
