Tip:

• You can keep the kuchla at room temperature and use it within 2 weeks depending on the weather or in the fridge for a longer period of time. I keep mine in the fridge for months.

• If you do not want to melt the sugar in the oil, you can always add it to the grated mango when adding the pickle mix.

• Store the unused pickle mix in the fridge to retain its freshness.
