How to make Gur Aam / Bengali style Sweet and Tangy Mango Pickle

Peel and de-seed the mangoes.
Cut the mangoes in elongated shape.
Marinate the mango slices with turmeric powder, salt and red chilli powder.
Spread the marinated mango slices in a big plate and dry under sun for 3 to 4 hours.
Meanwhile, take grated jaggery, sugar and little water in a pan and melt them properly. Keep on stirring continuously under low flame while melting them.
In a heavy bottom pan heat mustard oil and add dry red chilli and panch phoron.
After that add sundried mango slices and saute until they are soft and tender.
Next add the melted hot jaggery into the mangoes and cook under low to medium flame until the mangoes are translucent.
At this stage the jaggery syrup starts becoming thick and when it is one thread kind of consistency switch off the gas.
Allow to cool the pickle and store it in a airtight glass container and put it in sun occasionally for long time storage.

My Tip:

1. Keep on stirring the jaggery syrup to avoid burning or caramelizing. 2. If you already have melted jiggery then avoid adding water. 3. Panch phoron is mix of Fenugreek seeds, Cumin Seeds, Fennel Seeds, Nigella Seeds & Radhuni in equal amount. You can replace radhuni with mustard seeds.
