Raw Mango Tokku

It is the season of mangoes again. Tokku is a very simple yet finger licking side dish. It can be made either with red chilies or green chilies. Here I have used ripen red chilies. The flavour of the ripen red chilies adds to the taste of the tokku

Ingredients:

2 raw sour mango
15 - 18 ripen red chilies
1 tea spoon mustard
1/2 tea spoon methi seeds
1/2 tea spoon hing

1 strand curry leaves

1/2 tea spoon mustard seeds for Tadka

1/2 cup oil

Sal;t to taste

Preparation:
With ripen red chilies

1. Wash and pat dry the mangoes
2. Wash and pat dry the ripen red chilies
3. Peel and chop the mangoes
4. Dry roast the methi seeds and the mustard seeds till mustard pops.
5. Grind to a fine powder
6. Grind the mango pieces and the chilies to a fine paste (the moisture in the mango and chilies are sufficient. No need to add any water while grinding)
7. Heat oil in a pan and add the mustard and curry leaves
8. When mustard splits add the ground mango and chili paste, salt and hing
9. Sauté on low flame till oil leaves the side
10. Add the ground methi and mustard powder and mix well
11. Check for salt
12. Put off the flame
13. Store in glass container

With green chilies
Follow the same procedure except that instead of ripen red chilies add green chilies
