Mango Voggarane

 Mango Voggarane

A friend in Suvidha, gave me a few Mallika mangoes grown in our colony.  But when I peeled and cut it, I found it was too sour. When I cut another it was neither sweet nor sour. Apparently, the gardener had plucked it from the tree, before it was ripe/ready.  Instead of discarding it, I thought why not make a dish out of it, by adding some jaggery and green chillies etc.  It turned out to be awesome, with some sourness of the mango, sweetness of the jaggery and a bit of spiciness of the green chillies.  

Ingredients.

  1) One or two sour of bland ripened mangoes. 2) Green chillies, about one for each medium sized mango.  3) Jaggery about 1 ½ teaspoon powdered for each mango. 4) Salt – ¼ t0 ½ tsps.. 5) Items for seasoning – coconut oil, mustard, mor molaga (Curd chilly) – one and curry leaves. Optionally you may add ½ tsp of Asafoetida also to give it a zing.

Ingredients: 1) Peeled and cut mangoes - two. 2) Green chillies 2-3. 

3) Jaggery powdered 2-3 tsps. 4) Salt 1/2 tsp 5) Tadka - mustard, 

Mor-molaga and curry leaves (coconut oil, not shown)

Method.
 Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh into pieces. Add 1 or 2 green chillies, powdered jaggery and little salt and just puree it in a mixie.
 Transfer it to serving dish and add tadka/voggarane. Adding some Asafoetida powder is your choice.

Your yummy Mango Voggarane is now ready to serve. It is a good combination to eat it with Idly, Dosa, Chapathi, curd rice or as it is also.
