Mamidikaya Rasam

Hi

Today I am blogging charu/rasam with raw mango. Normally we prepare dal, chutney, pulihora  like that with raw mangoes. This raw mango charu is delicious and simple preparation and this is summer special charu as mango is a summer fruit. But these days we get raw mangoes almost the whole year. I went out to the market to day and found some lovely raw mangoes. Couldn't resist buying them. Raw mangoes have health benefits like Vitamin 'A', calcium, low fat and high protein.

Let us go to prepare Mamidikaya Rasam

Ingredients

• Raw mango pieces                       1 cup ( depends upon sourness)
• Onion                                           1 finely chopped
• Green mirchi                                4 chopped
• Sesame powder(nuvvula podi)    1 tbsp

For Popu

• Mustard seeds
• Cumin seeds
• Dry red chilli                             1 tear
• Hing
• Oil/ghee                                    1 tbsp

How I did it

1. Wash raw mango. Peel outer layer and cut into pieces.
2. Pressure cook mango pieces with l glass of water. Let it cool.
3. Mash mango pieces.
4. Add needed water. It depends on the sourness of the mango.
5. Take kadai, add 1 tbsp of oil or ghee. Let it heat. Add mustard seeds. Let them pop. Then add cumin seeds , teared red chilli and hing.
6. Pour the boiled mango puree water and add salt, turmeric powder, jaggery and boil for 5 minutes.
7. Finally add sesame powder and cook for couple of minutes.
8. Transfer into a bowl.
9. Garnish with coriander leaves.

It goes well with rice.

My Notes

• If possible select sweetish and sourish mango for this rasam tastes yummy.
