Do you like mangoes? If that’s the case, you’re in for a treat. Here are some more simple raw mango recipes for you to try. 


Ingredients:

  • 1 mango, unripe
  • season with salt to taste
  • a third of a cup of coconut oil
  • 4 green chili peppers
  • a pinch of asafoetida crystals

Serves: 2

Time to prepare: 5 minutes

Time to cook: 3-5 minutes

30 minutes to prepare


Method of Preparation:

1. Peel the raw mango and coarsely slice it.

2. In a cooking pan over medium heat, sauté the raw mango chunks with salt and 1/2 cup water for 3-5 minutes. 

3. Soak crystal asafoetida in 2 tablespoons boiling water while it’s cooking so it melts and dissolves fully.

4. Remove the raw mango chunks from the fire when they are nearly done. Keep them closed for 5 minutes to allow them to finish cooking. Then set them aside to cool fully. 

5. Grind them, together with the green chilies, into a smooth paste after they’ve cooled.

6. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered raw mango, salt (if desired), melted crystal asafoetida, and coconut oil.

7. If necessary, dilute this gojju with water to get the desired consistency. This gojju is typically semi-thick in consistency.

8. Enjoy this gojju with some hot rice.

P.S:

1. Raw mangoes with the skin on may also be cooked. Along with the cooked raw mango chunks, the peel will be crushed as well.

2. Raw mangoes may also be pressure cooked. Raw mangoes, on the other hand, cook quickly on the stovetop, so you may save time by not pressure cooking them. 

3. If you’re in a rush and need this meal right now, cook it until it’s done and a bit soft. Then, using a fan, cool it to room temperature before grinding.
