Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated mango
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ tsp red chili powder
  • ¼ tsp pepper powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp roasted cumin powder
  • Asafoetida a pinch
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder

Instructions

  • In a pan add 1 cup grated mango. Usually, we add an equal amount of sugar.
  • But I have added ¾ cup of sugar
  • Add ½ tsp red chili powder, ½ tsp turmeric powder, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper powder and a pinch of asafoetida.
  • Mix everything well and cover it and keep it aside for an hour.
  • After an hour, switch on the pan and start cooking this. The mixture must have oozed out water, as we have mixed it with sugar.
  • Keep stirring it in a low flame.
  • Add 1 tsp roasted cumin powder and mix well.
  • Keep checking for one string consistency.
  • Once you get the one string consistency, switch off the flame.
  • Do not cook much after that, as it will make the aam chunda harder.
  • Once it is cool, store it in a clean dry airtight container.
  • Keep it inside the refrigerator. This stays good for more than 3 months.

Notes

Mango Chunda goes well with parathas and theplas.
2. You can increase the sugar to 1 cup if you want it sweeter.
3. Even you can spread on bread too.
