It all started in a food group that I am a part of. One of the participants posted their attempts at making mangoes in brine and then Anupama contributed her recipe along with a wonderful Gozzu | Gotsu made with these brined mangoes.

By now you know that I love and try everything that Anu suggests and so here I am with this super-duper easy way of preserving mangoes for the year and then making fabulous chutneys with it.

Do also try these other recipes by Anupama: Udupi Temple Rasam, Sanna Polo, Dalithoy, Restaurant Style Mysore Masala Dosa, and Idli Upkari.
