Dried Raw Mango - Maavathal Sambar

     Dried Raw mango my mom makes every year to preserve mangoes.You guys know mangoes are seasonal and comes only in summer.In our house mango is very much liked by all.We all enjoy every bite, when it comes to mango pickle,mango thokku,mango curry and this sun dried mavathal.We kids used to eat when the maa vathal is drying in the sun itself(he he so tasty).I love the semi dried chewy ,tangy,sweet maa vathal more than fully dried ones.

       I often make raw mango sambar, my cutie takes after me i guess.When ever mango is not in season ,then i do this dried raw mango sambar.Its super duper easy sambar, soak the dried mangoes and you are ready to indulge in the mango deliciousness.Mango has got natural tanginess ,so we are not  adding any tamarind in this sambar.
     Check delicious fenugreekleaves sambar and Arachuvitta sambar(fresh spices sambar).
I don't have the recipe for making maa vathal/dried mango for now.Will share it when i visit India, the next time.
