This is a very simple and easy to make recipe. In every Spring when the mangoes are just available in the market my mother always made the first pickle of the year with these spring mangoes. This recipe of mango get its name as "Menthikaya/Menthi Baddalu/Mukkalu"  meaning methi flavored pieces. Methi powder used in this recipe gives a nice flavor to this pickle.

Take the mango pieces in a bowl. Add grounded powder and required salt.

When the oil temperature comes down a bit(it should still be little hot) add this oil to the above pieces.
