- Take a medium bowl and add lemon juice (or vinegar) to it. Add salt, red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, fenugreek and mustard powder. Mix it well. Add oil and give it a mix so that every thing is combined and forms like a thick paste.
- Add chopped mango cubes and garlic cloves to this paste. Close the lid and store in a dark place overnight.
