Notes
- You can add less or more of any of the six ingredients according to your preferences.
- Instead of black pepper, you can add red chilli powder or finely chopped green chillies as needed. Traditionally black pepper powder is used, but opt to add any of these spices according to your family customs.
- Instead of neem flower, to get the bitter taste, add some soaked fenugreek seeds or ground fenugreek powder.
- Unripe green mangoes can be peeled before chopping them into small cubes. If the skin is soft, you can leave it on, but if it is thick or tough, it is best to remove it.
- The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
