The uppumanga that you see in the picture above is the one prepared by my dear amma. I remember the yummy ones my ammachi ( maternal grnadmonther) used to make too...
Making uppumanga is kind of a tradition back home that is followed every year during mango season. Those who have eaten this know what I am talking about :-)
This morning when I spoke to mummy over the phone, mummy said that she has started collecting the mangoes for making uppumanga for this year. I was reminded of the delicious ones that I ate last summer and remembered that I had pictures of the uppumanga that I had at my mom's house during the summer of 2018. Before I forgot, I made sure I wrote down the recipe from mummy. Here it is...
- Naattu manga - wash and pat dry ( Naattu manga are the smaller mangoes)
- Salt - as needed
- Water - Enough to cover the mangoes
- Boil the water with the salt together and let cool.
- Once its cooled add it to the mangoes in a Bharani.
- Temper some red chillies, curry leaves, and uluva podi and once its cooled add it to the Bharani with the mangoes. Mix well and keep container closed for atleast for a month. Enjoy it !!!
