 Note:

1)The mango I used was not so sour.It was  half ripe with sour and sweet taste to it,so I added more tamarind.If the mangos are very sour add very little tamarind and a little more jaggery.I got a ripe mango which was still green .You can also make it with ripe mango,just add more tamarind

 

2)You can also keep the  mango pieces and add it along with tempering.This is how I do usually but when I tried this variation everyone liked it!so try it out:-)
