Mango pie for all mango lovers..

P1010199


Who doesnt love mangoes right ?? My love for mangoes started years agoo.When I was growing up , I used to wait for our summer holidays to visit our ammamma (grandmother) ,she has a large orchard with mango trees, jackfruit trees , cashew trees and lotts..The kids in the village had lot of fun making her angry by throwing stones for mangoes,she used to look around and watch the trees to save the mangoes for grandkids. Once we reach there, all the cousins get together and my cousin brother S who was tall used to climb the tree and pick mangoes for all of us, he picks both raw and riped ones,we eat raw ones with little salt and riped ones as such or to give a twist we eat it with redchilly powder and salt.We eat as much mangoes as we can during those days and to relish the mangoes later my mom pickles it .My grandma had a bharani (an earthern pot) in which she pickles the whole mango and keep it for later use. she used those pickled mangoes for making some curries which tastes heavenly !!

  10. Vineetha, thanks for stopping by and replying to my question. I think I am confusing the names of 2 dishes. I have tasted the Kinnathappam you linked somewhere and loved it. But the one I was looking for (so now I know I do not know the name) is made of some flour (which i am not sure), jaggery and jackfruit. It is poured into idli plate and steamed. My mom used to make it whenever we had a jackfruit in our tree. just love that memory. want to eat it again. :-(
