Tip:
1)A friend of mine hinted me that the mango is dried off too much. In such cases, wrap the dry mangoes in a thin clean cloth and keep in boiling water for about 2 mins. Sqeeze out the water. Heat gingely oil, splutter mustard seeds, add curry leaves, asafoetida powder, red chilly powder, salt(chilly powder and salt if needed) and add the prepared dry mango. Heat it until until the froth goes away(which is an indication of no water content leftout.
