hi john, dry mango powder may be substituted with appropriate quantity of lemon juice.

Hello Spirit whisperer,I am very sure you would like home made pickle using recipe. Since you are expert of hypnotism that had been my favorite topic few years back though I lost interest in it as my attention got diverted to other things. I'll be visiting your hubs in leisure time and enjoy. I have gone through the topics of your hub and most of them appeared interesting. Anyways thanks for the Google remark and love shown for chillies.
I was looking for a recipe for chilli pickle and I typed "how to make chilli pickle" into Google and your hub comes up top of the search. That should say something. I love chilli and eat it every day. I even grow my own. My father was Tamil and he ate a lot of chilli. Like father like son LOL!

Thanks Brittney & Anees for nice comment. Yeah, its hot but delicious. Thanks Nikki & Puja, you may use lemon but it will not help preserving for a long time. You can use acetic acid instead.Thanks Ragini, You can use frozen and small green chillies but it would be a little less tasty than fresh chillies.
Can I add nimbu instead of Vinegar,if I dont have at home?
