Ingredients:

• 500g boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons mustard oil
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 cup diced raw mango
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the chicken, mustard oil, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mango chutney. In a saucepan, combine diced raw mango, sugar, vinegar, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds. Cook over medium heat until the mango softens and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until fully cooked and slightly charred, about 10-12 minutes.
4. Serve the spicy chicken pickle hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and accompanied by the mango chutney.
