Raw Mango - 3
Rock Salt - 1.5 tsp
Method:
- Wash raw mangoes well.Slice them into slightly big pieces as shown below.
- Transfer the raw mango pieces to a container, add rock salt and mix well.Toss it well for the salt to coat evenly.Close the container with a lid and Let it rest for 2 hrs.Then spread it in a tray/ a clean cloth and sundry it.
- Let it sundry till it becomes bone dry.Once dried completely store in a clean container.
My Notes:
- I used one slightly ripe mango and other 2 were raw mangoes.Slightly ripe mangoes gives both tangy and sweet taste , I love it that way :)
- It may take atleast 2-3 days to bone dry like this...depends on the amount of sunlight you receive.For me it took almost 5 days to dry completely.
- You can even add 1/2 tsp turmeric powder along with rock salt.
- It keeps well atleast for a year without refrigeration.
- There should be no moisture at all when you store in a container and it should be bone dry else it may not last longer, will get spoiled easily.
