It is simple, spicy and you can store this gojju for nearly 2 to 3 months (in fridge).
These wild mangoes are from my sister's house in Sagri, near Udupi. The mango Tree bares lots of fruits and its of a sweet variety once it is ripen.
We had a chance to visit them during the mango season and got some mangoes. I kept the mangoes to ripe. To my surprise all the mangoes are ripen @ one time. So the thought of preparing this Mango Spicy Gojju flashed.
I have washed the mangoes nicely though no chemical spray or any other chemical use is done on fruits. It is always a good habit to wash and use the fruits or vegetables.
These mangoes are sweet type, once it is ripe.
The recipe goes like this.
Wash and wipe out the moisture. Squeeze out the pulp completely and boil the pulp on medium flame. Add some jaggery ,salt and let it boil till it turns bit thick. Then adding the rasam powder makes the gojju little more thick. Mix it and stir continuously till it turns thick like a jam consistency. Add mustard seeds, ingh and curry leaves seasoning at the end and leave it for boiling for 2 to 3 minutes.
Then take out the done Mango gojju and let it cool. Use glass jars to store and it can stay for 3 to 4 months in fridge.
