Oggarane mavina hannu recipe - Tempered mango recipe

Oggarane mavina hannu recipe - I like any dishes prepared with mango. During mango season I often temper ripe mangoes with dry red chillies, curry leaves and to get more out of it I also add chilli powder, sugar and even lemon juice. When the mangoes cook well in its own juice and combine well with other ingredients it turns very soft and tasty.This mango dish is liked by all as it is mildly spiced. I even fried the red chillies till  brown to get the smoky flavor. Usually, I serve it as a side dish to main meal.

Pumpkin paratha recipe - I love to make parathas often because of its ease, simplicity and wholesomeness.  It is convenient to pack parathas in lunch box and we can have it for breakfast too. In my hometown, large sized pumpkins are grown in the backyard of our house. We grew up seeing and eating pumpkin in large scale. We are not a great fan of pumpkin, but whenever we buy pumpkin here,  make sabzi, sweet poori, appe or paratha from it. Like any other paratha, this is also goes well with tomato ketchup, chutneys, pickles and yogurt.
