Ghontan Sasav (Goan Mango Sasav) is a sweet and tangy dish very commonly prepared in Goa during the Mango season. Mango Sasav is prepared out of small ripe sucking mangoes, known as Ghontan in Konkani.
Ingredients
  • Small Ripe Sucking Mangoes: 4-5
  • Grated Coconut: 1 cup
  • Jaggery: 1 cup
  • Dry Red Chilies: 3-4 small
  • Mustard Seeds: 2 tsp
Instructions
  1. Grind the coconut, jaggery and red chilies to a course paste. You can adjust the amount of jaggery based on how tangy the mangoes are.
  2. Dry roast mustard seeds and add to the ground mixture from step 1. Grind again to form finer paste.
  3. Lightly squeeze the mangoes to extract some pulp. Place the mangoes (seeds and pulp both) in a pan and heat for 2-3 minutes. This step is optional and can be skipped. (My mom mentioned that usually the sasav is not heated at all, but she prefers heating it)
  4. Take off flame and add the ground mixture and salt. Mix well. I believe that it tastes best with rotis.
