3.  After an hour add the oil [Oil must be heated and cooled] to the prepared mixture. Add the raw garlic pieces. Leave it for a day in airtight container or can use instantly.
4. Let the container stay for 2-3 days in room temperature, so that the Mangos absorb the spices and salt well.. Later store in refrigerator to preserve the crispiness of Raw mango and for more shelf life.
