- Red chili powder – 1/2 teaspoon
- Roasted cumin powder – 1 teaspoon

Method
First, wash the raw mangoes, peel them, and cut them into small pieces. Remove the seed if needed.
Heat a little oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and fennel seeds, allowing them to crackle lightly.
Now add the chopped mango pieces and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour in water and cook until the mango becomes soft.
Once the mango softens, add sugar or jaggery and keep stirring continuously.
