Prepare the mangoes by peeling and slicing them into thin strips.

Mix the coarse salt and granulated sugar in a bowl until well combined.

Layer the mango slices in a clean jar, sprinkling the salt and sugar mixture between layers.

Add whole peppercorns, sliced garlic, and sliced chilies to the jar for flavor.

Pour enough water into the jar to cover the mango slices completely.

Seal the jar tightly and leave it at room temperature for 3-5 days to ferment.

Check daily for bubbles, indicating fermentation is occurring.

Once fermented to your liking, refrigerate the jar to slow the fermentation process.

Serve as a side dish with grilled meats or rice.
