Servings1 cup
Ingredients
- 3 raw mango
- 1.5 teaspoon rock salt
Instructions
- Wash raw mangoes well. Slice them into slightly big pieces.
- 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.
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 at least 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 teaspoon turmeric powder along with rock salt.
- It keeps well at least 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.
