Khatta meetha a lil spicy, a lil sweet, tangy and mouthwatering. All this is best described by this recipe. An old recipe by mom which she made every year with raw mangoes from our own garden..spruced it up a bit to lower the efforts of making it and voila ready in less time with same delicious taste.
My mom would scrape the mangoes and cook it down in sugar syrup. The effort was too much to think of. Seeing some new method of steaming the mangoes to get tje pulp seemed much easier and I followed that method. Was so much faster too, then cooking it with sugar and required spices made the pulp / mix ready.
My MIL makes an only sweet version the recipe for which you can get in the link below
