Instructions:
| Step | Description |

| 1 | Heat oil in a big heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking. |
| 2 | Lower the heat and add salt, red pepper powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and Indian mango pickle pieces. Be cautious not to burn the spices. |
