Fajeto Recipe - A Gujarati Mango Kadhi
Fajeto – A Gujarati Mango Kadhi – Summer Special.
We Gujaratis find ways and means to consume Mangoes in every possible way. We don’t even leave a single drop of mango pulp from the mango skins; so we wash them and use that water to make Fajeto – you can call it Mango Kadhi – enjoyed with Rice and dry yellow moong dal. Made with very basic ingredients – I think this could be another dish easily you can add to your weeks’ menu this Summer Season.
2 mangoes
1.5 tsp Besan (chickpeas flour)
1/2 curd
Cumin seeds (Jeera)
Mustard seeds (Rai ke daane)
Few fresh green kadi Patta (green curry leaves)
A small piece of ginger shredded / OR ginger dry powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder (Haldi powder)
1 tsp Kashmiri Red Chili powder
Salt
Jaggery piece or little sugar
Few drops of fresh lemon.
- Take left 2 over mango skin and soak in water and press out all the mango pulp
Strain the water so all roughages are removed. - Add 2 spoon of mango pulp (aam ras)
- Mix well
- Add 1.5 tsp besan (chickpeas flour).
- Add 1/2 cup curd
- Mix well so that there are no lumps left.
- The mixer in which you had mango pulp; add some water there too (like I said never waste a single drop mango).
- Add little oil in a deep pan; keep pan on slow flame.
- Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds
- Wait for them to crackle.
- Add fresh green curry leaves.
- Add little piece of ginger shredded; alternatively, you can also add dry ginger powder – gives great flavour.
- Add 1/2 tsp turmeric powder (Haldi powder).
- Add 1 tsp Kashmiri Red Chili powder.
- Mix everything.
- Add water (which we had in the mixer in which mango pulp was made) to ensure masalas don’t get burnt.
- Add little salt.
- Now add the mango pulp curd besan mixture
keep stirring it – if you feel it’s thick, add little water. - Add a piece of jaggery (or little sugar if you don’t have jaggery) as Fajeto is sour, spicy, sweet in taste.
- Keep cooking at medium flame else curd will get split in fajeto
once you get a boil; fajeto is ready - Add a few drops of lemon (you can add raw mango pieces too) it will enhance the flavour.
- Garnish with Kadi Patta (fresh green curry leaves).
- Serve Fajeto with Rice and if you make yellow dry moong dal; it’s a perfect combination.
