Notes:
  • I have pressure cooked mangoes in this recipe; instead you can roast mangoes on stove top until charred, remove skin, seed and follow same method
  • Cardamom powder can be used instead of pepper powder
  • Adjust sugar, water depending on the sourness of mangoes
  • If you do not have Himalayan salt or black salt add normal salt (1/4 tsp)
