Ingredients:

• Raw Mango (sliced): 1
• Jaggery: 2 tbs
• Mustered Oil: 1tbs
• Cumin Seeds (jeera): 1 tsp
• Fenugreek Seeds:1 tsp.
• Dry Red Chilly-1
• Kalonji seeds-1tsp.
• Salt: 1 tsp
• Red Chilli Powder: 1/2 tsp
• Hing:A Pinch
• Turmeric Powder-1/4 tsp.

Method:

·        Cut the raw mango in small slices. I prefer the typical green raw mangoes.

·        Take oil in a pan and heat it on high flame. Once hot, switch the flame to low and add jeera(cumin seeds),fenugreek seeds,kalonji,hing,turmeric powder and dry red chilly and let them splutter.

·        Now add the mango cubes to it and mix well.

·        Add red chilly powder and salt and cover the pan for 5-7 minutes, keeping the flame on low.

·        By this time, the raw mango cubes would be optimally cooked; if you feel they are still not soft, cook for 2-3 minutes more, adding 1 tsp of water.

·        At last, add jaggery to it and mix well.

·        Put off the heat and let it cool.

·        Enjoy this with Parantha or any snacks.This can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
