This is basically a sample version, so adjust the quantities accordingly.
Ingredients:
Method:
I will be uploading a video of the procedure soon.
Ingredients:
- Mango - 1-2 ripened (Benishan variety- the ones that are firm without fiber)
- Sugar - 6-8 tbsp (depending on sweetness)
- Cardamom powder- 1/2 tsp (Elachi)
- Clarified butter- 1/2 tsp (Ghee, to grease the plate)
- Plate- Any without sharp edges (Steel, ceramic)
- Sunlight- :)
Method:
- Wash and remove the skin of the mangoes. Roughly chop into pieces.
- Add sugar, mango pieces into a blender (mixer jar) and grind into a smooth pulp.
- Place a nonstick pan (can use normal steel pan as well) on simmer.
- Add the pulp to it. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grease the plate and keep it ready.
- Increase the heat to medium and keep stirring the pulp. Add elachi powder and mix.
- It will bubble. Make sure it doesn't stick to the sides or the bottom of the pan.
- After 15 minutes, the pulp will start to change color.
- It will turn orangish yellow. (a slightly darker shade of the golden yellow)
- Turn off the heat and immediately transfer to the greased plate.
- Spread the pulp by rotating the plate or use a spatula.
- Make sure the pulp is spread as evenly as you can manage.
- Mine was the first attempt so, it wasn't perfect. Also, I misjudged the quantity and had to use two plates.
- Let the pulp cool down for 10-15 minutes.
- Then place it directly in sunlight. Try making it in the morning, so it'll be ready by the next day afternoon.
- To know if it's ready, touch the dried mix. If it doesn't give a sticky feeling and is translucent (semi-transparent) it is ready to be cut.
- Use a sharp-edged knife to lift the edges of the dried mango pulp from the plate.
- It will come off very easily. Carefully peel the entire strip and roll it.
- Cut into pieces.
- Or cut the strips first, peel and roll it. Anything is fine. I tried both though I enjoyed peeling the entire sheet. It was more fun. :)
- Store in an airtight box and eat.
