 Note :-
You can use any one among raw mangoes, bimbuls, hog plums(ambado) or karambals. Gives the same flavour with different aromas.
Here is one with hog plums or ambados – Ambade Udid Methi !
    Recipe is same as above except that I have ground this masala very smoothly..some people grind little bit coarsely, as the recipe of karambal udid methi. choice is yours. Only you have to give the tadka at least two hours prior before consuming, so that the tempering is infused with flavour of the dish ..It won’t taste good if eaten immediately !.
