Ingredients
- 2 cups Grated Raw Mango
- 1 cup Powdered Jaggery
- ½ tsp Fenugreek Powder
- 1 tsp Red Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Turmeric Powder
- ½ tsp Cumin Powder
Instructions
Prep-Work
- Peel the raw mango and grate them.
Steps
- In a kadai or pan, add the grated mango and all the spices and jaggery.
- Combine well and cook this mix over a low flame.
- The mix well starts to come together and also it will ooze out a lot of water.
- Slowly the mixture starts bubbling. Keep stirring the mixture if not it might turn hard.
- Cook until ¾ of the water evaporates, and the pickle comes to a jam-like consistency like below. It took me about 15 minutes over a low flame. If you are cooking over a medium flame, you can cook for about 8 to 9 minutes.
- Let it cool and store in an airtight container.
- Serve it with theplas or parathas.
Notes
- Methi powder is completely optional.
- You can use sugar, instead of jaggery.
- I went with comparatively less sweet and spicier. But you can increase the sugar and jaggery or the spices as per your taste preference.
- Make sure you keep stirring the pickle mix if not it will get hard and also the pickle should be semi-solid like jam.
- I did not go with one string or 2 string consistency. Once ¾ of the water got evaporated, it cooked for couple more minutes and turned it off. But you can cook until one string consistency.
- It took me about 15 minutes to prepare the pickle over a low flame. If you are cooking over a medium flame, you can cook for about 8 to 9 minutes.
