Notes
- Tempering at the last stage always retains the flavour.
- Take care not to overcook raw mango, keep an eye while it gets cooked.
- Tamarind used should be very less for this sambar as mango itself is very tangy.
- Smells and tastes good for 2 days if refrigerated. But heat it once in between cool down and then refrigerate.
- Switch off according to the thick consistency you prefer. But it thickens with time so switch off accordingly.
- You can temper in ghee too for extra flavour.
