    Ingredients:

    • 2 kg raw mangoes
    • 1.5 kg sugar
    • 1/4 cup black salt
    • 1/4 cup roasted cumin powder
    • 1/4 cup black pepper powder
    • 2 tbsp fennel seeds
    • 2 tbsp cardamom powder
    • Water

    Equipment:

    • Large pot
    • Blender or food processor
    • Sterilized glass bottles with airtight lids

    Instructions:

    1. Wash and peel the raw mangoes. Cut them into small pieces and remove the seeds.
    2. In a large pot, add the mango pieces and enough water to cover them. Boil the mangoes until they become soft and mushy.
    3. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool down. Once it’s cool enough to handle, blend the mangoes to make a smooth puree.

    Tips:

    • Use ripe but firm raw mangoes for best results.
