Things Needed:
Ripe Mango : (Savoury taste). :  2 ( Medium sized).

Add Majjige Menasu to the mixture and fry until its brown. Add this mixture to mango pulp. Add salt and mix well. Serve this with Chapatis or Pooris.
Note : Majjige Menasu is also called also Balakada Menasu or Sandige Menasu . In Tamil they call it Moru Molagai.  You can also use green chillies instead of Majjige menasu.

It gives a different taste. If the Mango is more savoury use little jaggery. ( Sweet tooth people can surely use jaggery).  Do not add water.

Beetroot Mosaru Bajji.

Beetroot Mosaru Bajji is a side dish and can be eaten with Rice, Chapati or Pooris. 


Mosaru means curd bajji is a gravy curry prepared using some vegetables/leaves.
Mosaru bajji is simple raitha with very little spice.
I have used beetroot, curd, green chilly, coriander leaves and some spices.
Let us see some benefits of eating Ingh/Asafoetida in our diet.
Asafoetida is the dried latex( gum) from the tap root of several species of Ferula. ( One of the perennial herb).
Asafoetida has loads of properties like it is an anti inflammatory, anti arthritic, antiviral, antibacterial, antiseptic, anti oxidant, antitoxic and digestive stimulant. Asafoetida helps in reducing the blood pressure and it is good for easy digestion. It is used as medicine for mental disorder and respiratory disorders in Ayurveda. Asafoetia helps to reduce cholesterol levels and helps in improving cholesterol metabolism in our body. It helps in reducing gas, bloating and abdominal pains.
Let us see the recipe now :

Beetroot : 1 ( Big size).
Curd /Yogurt : 1 Cup

Note:  

Adding  Majjige Menasu ( balakada menasu) taste better. (Optional). Do not use savory or spoiled curd.  I have cooked beet in a pressure cooker and then removed its outer layer. It is easy. (Optional).
 This tip is given by SHIVLEELA,which helps to cut the beetroot easily too.
