As kids,whenever my Bombay aunty used to visit us to Mangalore she would get us Mango chundo,Amla Murabba,Dry Amla and other goodies of Maharashtra.Most commonly known as Mango Chunda,it is a mango preserve which can be stored for nearly a year which has a sweet,sour and spicy taste.Gujrathi’s still relish it with Methi thepla..I found this recipe in Divya’s blog and it sounded easy since it was prepared in a microwave.But I goofed up with the recipe,but still moved on and succeeded.She suggested to do the sugar syrup separately and mix it at a later stage but I mixed the sugar with the grated mango accidentally but the result was thumbs up.Again,this is prepared with the raw mangoes.I had a stock of our factory mangoes but when I decided to prepare this,I found that the mangoes were ripening .Then Santoshi came to my rescue and gave me ‘Thothapuri’ Mango and I went ahead with the same.
