Mango Thokku
A mango relish prepared easily and pairs well with curd rice in a South Indian Thali
Ingredients
- 1 kg Raw Mango
- 1/3 Cup Gingelly Oil
- 3 Tbsp Red Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1/2 Tsp Fenugreek powder
- 1/2 Tsp Asafoetida
- TO Taste Salt
Instructions
- Wash and wipe dry the raw mangoes
- Peel the skin of the mangoes
- Chop the flesh into big pieces and discard the seed
- Grate the firm flesh. I have used the food processor to grate
- Heat the oil in a pan. Once sufficiently hot add the mustard seeds, asafoetida and turmeric and saute on low flame till the mustard seeds begins to splutter
- Now add the chilli powder and fry for few seconds.
- Now add the grated Mnago and mix well
- Close it with a lid and cook on low flame for five minutes
- Keep stirring and mixing regularly
- After 10 minutes of cooking on low flame, it will soften. Now add the slat, mix well and continue to cook
- Cook till it shrinks well. Add fenugreek powder at this stage and mix well and continue to cook for another 5 minutes
- Oil will begin to ooze out at this stage. Switch off the fire and let it cool completely
- Store in air ight ceramic, glass containers
Notes
- I have used gingelly oil here. You can use sunflower oil too
- Use firm sour mangoes for best end results
- Add more oil if necessary
- Spices can be adjusted to suit one's taste
