In this season, we get lots of mangoes. Mangai thokku is a pickle which is made from raw mango. We make thokku by peeling the raw mangoes and grating them and adding some spices. Mango thokku will be very tasty and tangy and it goes well with curd rice. It also goes well with idly / dosa.
When I was young, I used to mix mango thokku in hot rice and have it. It will be so spicy and tasty.
