We too have a mango trees back at home in our father in l aw's  home.
The variety is known as Kempu Kase. It has lots of fiber and very sweet variety.
Yummy fruits yield every year. 
This time when we had been there I got some mangoes and they turned ripe and we did enjoy it.
I had thought of this recipe and this Sweet and Spicy Mango is a good combo for our breakfast or go well with curd rice.
This Sweet and spicy mango is done with jaggery and there is no harm of acidity or any thing for our health.

Ripe Mango : 1
Jaggery : 2 to 3 Tbs. (Powdered).
Sambar Powder or Rasam Powder : 2 Tbs.
