Deep within the culinary traditions of the Mithila community, there exists a delicacy so rare that many outside the region have never heard of it—yet one taste is enough to leave a lasting impression. Neek Mango Guramma Pickle is that treasure. Neither a conventional pickle nor a regular chutney, it is a soulful, home-style creation that blends sweetness, spice, and aroma into an unforgettable sensory experience.
A Rare Recipe from Mithila Kitchens
Mango Guramma is a quiet heirloom of Mithila cuisine, traditionally prepared in small quantities within homes. It reflects the community’s love for layered flavours—where sweetness is not flat, and spice is never harsh. Neek brings this lesser-known gem to light while preserving its original character.
This unique pickle-cum-chutney is made using:
-
Freshly diced raw mangoes, firm and tangy
-
Generous amounts of jaggery, lending depth and natural sweetness
-
A special spice mix of freshly ground garam masala
-
Whole garam masala and bay leaf, for lingering warmth and aroma
-
A light drizzle of refined oil, to bind and elevate flavours
Instant, Fresh & Sensational
Unlike long-aged pickles, Neek Mango Guramma is an instant preparation—meant to be enjoyed fresh. While it does not have an extended shelf life, it more than makes up for it with a delectable, mind-awakening taste that creates a true sensation in both heart and palate.
Its flavour profile is deep and indulgent—sweet from jaggery, spicy from masala, and bold from mango—all coming together in perfect harmony.
A Perfect Match for Wheat-Based Meals
This Guramma pickle pairs especially well with wheat dishes such as rotis, parathas, pooris, and theplas. The rich sweetness balances dry or spicy sabzis beautifully, turning simple meals into comforting, indulgent experiences.
Unmatched Versatility on the Plate
One of the most exciting aspects of Neek Mango Guramma Pickle is its versatility. It can be enjoyed in multiple ways:
-
As a jelly-like spread on rotis or bread
-
As a sweet-spicy curry base when lightly diluted
-
As a topping for chaat, snacks, and savouries
-
As a flavour booster alongside traditional meals
Few condiments offer this range while staying rooted in tradition.
A Welcome Treat for Modern Palates
Though largely unheard of beyond Mithila, Mango Guramma is a revelation for today’s food lovers. Its use of jaggery instead of refined sugar, its home-style preparation, and its bold yet comforting flavour make it a healthier, more soulful alternative to mass-produced sauces and spreads.
A Jar of Mithila’s Quiet Pride
Neek Mango Guramma Pickle is more than a condiment—it is a revival of a forgotten delicacy, brought to life for those who value authenticity and depth. Rare, expressive, and deeply satisfying, it invites you to experience a side of Mithila cuisine that few have known—but many will surely fall in love with.
One spoonful, and the senses listen.
