My Tip:
- Mustard seeds always should be ground with salt , it will prevent to get it bitter.
- In this preparation we don't need to stir between the cooking. It will be cooked properly with its steam. Just cover it always, don't open.
- This cooking should be slow cooking process.
- Green chilli can be adjusted as per taste.
- If your green mango is too sour, you can add more sugar to balance as per taste .
