Ambe Gojju (Seasoned Ripe Mangoes)

“The king of the fruits”, mango fruit is one of the most popular, nutritionally rich fruit with unique flavor, fragrance, taste, and heath promoting qualities. Mango fruit is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals.
Fresh mango is a very rich source of potassium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps in controlling heart rate and blood pressure. I make several different Mango dishes, here is the first among them. 

"Mango Gojju" is a side dish which is made from small juicy mangoes which are both sour and sweet. It does not require any boiling except for the seasoning. This side dish is very easy to make, so if you love mangoes and also have a sweet tooth, then you can make it daily just like me.
