I love Raw Mango. Even though you get raw mango almost all year along these days the ones you get it during season (summer) is really amazing.. Esp I love the variety we get from my grand ma little garden. I was told that tree is there for past 60 over years (yes … the fruit is tasted thro’ 5 generations) My grandma used to make a sweet mango sambar which I like esp the mango after a day. I can finish 1 to 2 mangoes at one go. This is one of sweet dish I like from my childhood. I have posted Raw mango sambar in my space before. This recipe is almost same except addition of Jaggery. Another similar recipe is raw mango Pachadi but it is done without dal

Curry leaves – 10
Mustard seeds – 1/4 teaspoon
Cumin seeds – 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder – 1/4 teaspoon
Oil – 1 teaspoon
Small onion / shallots – 5-7 (Peel and cut into 2)
Sambar powder -2 teaspoon
Jaggery – 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup
Coriander Leaves -1 tablespoon (chopped)
Method:

Add Mango and fry for a min. Add sambar powder, Turmeric powder and Salt. Mix well.
Add Add Mashed dal, 1.5 to 2 cup of and Close with lid. Cook till mango is cooked. I put weight and cooked for 5 mins in low medium flame as I wanted to keep mango shape. (If that is not enough for cooking your mango then just continue to cook till it is done

Serve it! I prefer it next day! Otherwise I feel the mango is not that sweet!
