Sweet Mango Gojju

Mangoes are seasonal fruits and one should make use of seasonal fruits and vegetables since they are filled with loads of minerals and vitamins.

We have mango trees in Our Birthimane (name of the area near Brahmavar / Udupi, my father in law's house). Normally during the mango season we do get good mangoes. Even the same mangoes are used for  pickle. This tree gives yummy mangoes. I do bring them here and prepare so many dishes from it.
These wild mangoes are bit savoury in taste and I used lots of JONI/liquid form of jaggery to it and prepared Sweet Mango Gojju.
This Sweet Mango Gojju taste sweet and good to have as one of the side dish with idli, poori, chapati, dosa, guli appa and bread.
I have squeeze out pulp from mango fruits, used that with jaggery, pepper and green chilly. Mango seeds/ಓಟೆ are dipped in the curry. It is very nice to have the seeds and enjoy having juice in them.
