Ambe sasam recipe - Mavinkayi sasive - Raw mango sasam

Ambe sasam recipe - Ambe sasam which is also called as mavinkayi sasive in kannada, is a simple and easy side dish made with raw mangoes. I had few raw mangoes in the refrigerator and I was looking to make side dish with it. So, I made this ambe sasam and it was so tempting and delicious. This is almost similar to the ripe ambe sasam. But in this dish ripe mango is replaced with raw mangoes. Ambe sasam or sasive is a common dish in coastal Karnataka and I like it most. This is my favorite dish and goes very well with chapathi and rice. We like a lot of masala in this dish and I add sufficient coconut masala paste to make sure it tastes great.
