Mango Palu or Mango rasa

Tried and tasted by Nivedita

Hi All,

I am really sorry for not posting this recipe soon. I know mango season is getting over and we need raw mangoes for this recipe. I don't know the name for this recipe but it has a mixed taste of pickle, jam, gulumb...

Its the best with anything, roti, chapati, rice, idly, dosa, bread.....

The best part is you can make and store in the fridge for months together and enjoy the mango even when there is no mango season.

I will come directly to the recipe.

Actually there are two ways I prepare. One is you can not keep as we add onion in it.

The second one is told by my best friend Aunradha. 

I love this version and can go on nibbling again.

Mustard seeds - 2 tbsp

Cumin seeds - 2 tbsp

Methi seeds - 1 tsp

Red chilly powder - 3 to 4 tbsp (adjust according to your taste)

if using stoned hing, use just a pepper size.
