It is always good to use sesame oil while making pickles as it gives good taste and flavour and helps to increase shelf life. 

The most important point to be noted is that there should not be a drop of water in any of the utensils that your using including knife,pan and ladle. Wash the mangoes and then wipe them with a clean cloth before cutting them. If there is even a drop of water then it will decrease the shelf life of the pickle. Everytime you take the pickle ise a dry spoon and take it out.
