Mango Thokku-Manga Thokku Recipe

Mango grated – 2 cups heaped (you can use any sour variety)
Turmeric powder- a pinch
Chilli powder -1/4 cup( I used homemade chilli powder which it not very hot – use less if using store bought powder)
Salt -2 1/4 tbsp or as required
Mustard seeds – 1 tsp 
Asafoetida/Hing -1/4 tsp
Fenugreek powder/ vendhayam  (dry roasted and powdered) – 1/2 tsp
Sesame seed oil/ gingerly oil -1/4 cup + 2 tbsp

Wash mangoes well and wipe it dry. Peel the skin and grate the mangoes using a grater.

Dry roast fenugreek seeds in a pan (do not brown it) and powder it. Keep it aside.

Heat oil in a kadai , add mustard seeds and hing, when mustard splutters, add the grated mango and turmeric powder and saute nicely for a few minutes. (keep the flames low)

Then only you should add chilli powder and salt.

After adding chilli powder and salt, saute nicely till oil separates.Keep it in low flame otherwise it will get burnt.

Then add fenugreek powder, mix well and switch it off. Leave it to cool.

Store it in a dry container and refrigerate it. It can be used as a condiment for curd rice, paratha, bread, sandwich, idli etc. It will last a month though in my house, it will be over within a week.
