Lets check today's recipe. Mango Carrot Thokku.

Ingredients :

Mango (unripe) - 2

Carrot - 3/4

Red chilli powder - 2 tbsp

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Asafoetida - 1 pinch

Fenugreek powder - 1/4 tsp

Mustard seeds - 3/4 tsp

Sesame oil - 5 tbsp or as needed

Salt to taste

Method :

Take mango and peel the outer skin using peeler. Grate this into thin slices. 

Peel the skin of carrot and grate it to thin slices.(Picture shown).

In a pan, add sesame oil, followed by spluttering mustard seeds. Add the grated mangoes and carrots. Fry it in a low medium flame for 6-10 minutes. Cook until the mangoes become soft and get shrinked.I always add carrot as it balance the sourness of mangoes.

Now add red chilli powder,turmeric powder and salt. Mix it well followed by adding a pinch of Asafoetida (Hing). Fry it for another 5-9 mins in low flame. Add oil if necessary or if you see it getting burned or dried up.Keep stirring for every 2 mins to avoid burning at the bottom.

Finally add fenugreek seed powder and fry for 1 min. Now you can observe that oil is oozing out from the mango-carrot thokku mix. This is the perfect and correct consistency.

Check for salt and switch off the flame.

Transfer it to air tight container. Always use clean spoon everytime and dont use wet spoon. Enjoy fresh home made thokku with curd rice.
