MAVINKAI GOJJU | RAW MANGO CURRY | RAW MANGO RECIPE

Mango curry is a sweet, tangy and spicy curry made with raw mango. This curry tastes sweeter because we have used jaggery.

This recipe is actually made with pineapple, called pineapple gojju! yes made with a fruit!! Pineapple gojju is a must served side dish in traditional functions like weddings in Karnataka. I always loved it when i had them in functions but didn't know how it is made. once when i visited my friend's place her mom had made this mango gojju for lunch that tasted exactly like pineapple gojju except that it is made with raw mango. I learnt this recipe from friend's mom. after i came home i tried this recipe with pineapple also. Yes! it is the same pineapple gojju which i loved having in functions.

You also try this recipe with pineapple with just a small change, add less jaggery or if fruit is more sweeter add no jaggery.
