Method

Tap a number to tick off a step.

1. 1

   Peel the raw mangoes and cut the flesh into thin, long strips.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in a kadai [Indian wok-style pan]. Add the cumin seeds and, once they start to splutter, add the chopped green chillies.

3. 3

   Add the mango, the salt, the turmeric powder and the red chilli powder; mix well.

4. 4

   Cover with a thali [flat metal plate, used here as a lid] and let it cook, stirring at regular intervals.

5. 5

   When the mango is nearly done and soft, add the sugar and mix thoroughly.

6. 6

   Let the sugar dissolve, stirring from time to time, and cook until the mixture turns slightly thick.
