Mang-Kani Pachadi. Raw-Ripe Mango Salad. Mangai Pachadi. Manga Inippu Pachadi. Mango Jam.

Ingredients:

Raw-Ripe Mangoes 2 medium
Jaggery lemon size(or packed brown sugar)
Granulated Sugar 1 fistful
Mustard seeds 1/2 spoon
Dry red chilies 3-5
Curry leaves few
Oil few spoons.

Method:

I chose the mango which is neither fully ripe or too raw.

Scrape away the skin, deseed the fruit. Now either grate or chop down the pulp alone.

In a shallow pan, heat few spoons of oil. Add this pulp. Cover and cook over medium heat. Maybe for 10 minutes or until they are pulpy.

Now stir-in sugar + jaggery and continue cooking over medium heat. Cover and cook until they are done without any water.

Whe they come to jam like consistency, remove from heat.

In a separate pan, heat oil. Add mustards, chilies and curry leaves. Then run this sesonning over the pachadi prepared above.

Serve warm, cold or at room temperature as a pickle, jam or as a side dish.
