Ingredients
- 6 ripe juicy mangoes
- 5-6 byadgi dry red chillies

- Salt to taste
Method
- Clean and peel the mangoes.
- Remove the pulp from the mangoes by gently pressing it within your fist.
- Grate the jaggery and add it to the mango pulp. Mix and keep aside to allow the jaggery to dissolve and blend with mango pulp.
- Dry roast the mustard seeds till they splutter.
- Grind grated coconut, mustard seeds and chillies to make a thick paste adding as little water as possible.
- Add this mixture to the mango pulp and mix well. Check for sweetness and salt.
- This is a raw dish apart from the mustard seeds and does not require any cooking.
- Serve as an accompaniment or with rice or rotis.
