Hot n Sweet Mango relish

Its a long gap since my last visit to my blog. Amma not being so well does not give me agood mood to blog.

Now she is feeling better by God’s grace and hence I am back to blogging.
Even though the mango season is over I am getting few green mangoes now and then. This delicacy is one Amma learnt from her neighbour. The sourness of raw mango along with the sweetness of jaggery and the sharp hot taste that the chilli powder gives to this dish gives a burst if flavor when you taste it. It goes well with a creamy curd rice but can go with any dish like Idli, chappathi, dosa or any bland tasting rice variety too.
