Critical Success Points

  • Wash and cut mangoes properly—any moisture or skin left can cause spoilage.
  • Salt and rest mangoes to draw out water.
  • Heat mustard oil until smoking to remove raw taste.
  • Do not overcook after adding jaggery—syrup should be thick but not hard.
  • Cool completely before storing in a dry, airtight jar.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful when cutting raw mangoes—they are hard and slippery.
  • Mustard oil should be heated until smoking to remove toxins—never consume raw.
  • Hot jaggery syrup can cause burns—handle with care.
