God lonche is basically a sweet and sour mango pickle/jam. This age old Goan delicacy is made with raw mangoes and jaggery and is known to last in the fridge even upto a year (and that too without preservatives)
Ingredients
Raw Mango: 2 cups peeled and chopped into small pieces
Jaggery: 4 cups
Green Chilies:2 slit vertically
Chili Powder: ½ – 1 tsp
Mustard seeds: 1 tsp
Asafoetida (Hing): 1 large pinch
Salt: ½ tsp
Instructions
Apply salt to the mango pieces and keep aside for ½ hour.
Squeeze the mango pieces to remove the water. This will remove some of the sourness of the mangoes.
In a pan, put the mango pieces and a little water. Let cook till mango is partly cooked. Remove and keep aside.
In a pan, place the jaggery, green chilies and chili powder. Close lid and let cook till it comes to a boil.
Add the mango pieces to the jaggery and let cook till the pickle thickens a little.
In a small pan, heat 1 tsp oil. Add the mustard seeds and close till it splutters. Add hing to it and mix well.
Add mustard seeds and hing to the god lonche.
