Step 2 – Temper with Spices
Heat oil in a pan and reduce the heat before adding the spices to prevent burning.
Add nigella seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds to the oil. Stir for a few seconds until the seeds crackle.
Next, add asafoetida (hing powder) to the pan. Stir for a few seconds.
Step 3 – Cook the Raw Mangoes
Add the sliced raw mangoes to the spice mixture. Stir to coat the mango slices with the spices.
Next, add water to the pan and stir it. Cover the pan and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes on low heat, or until the raw mangoes are cooked.
Cook till it reaches a thick, saucy consistency.
Step 4 – Add Sweetener and Spices
Add grated jaggery, add turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well until the jaggery dissolves.
Let it simmer on low heat until the raw mango slices become tender and the mixture thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
