Ingredients
- 2 Raw Mangoes
- 1 teaspoon Black Mustard Seed
- 2 Dry Red Chilli optional
- ¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 150 g Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoon Mustard Oil
- 5 cups Water
Instructions
- Wash and cut raw Mangoes into long strips.
- I prefer to retain the skin of the Mango. You can also remove the skin of the mangoes before chopping.
- Take Oil in a Wok and heat sufficiently, and temper the oil with dry Red Chilli and Black Mustard Seeds.
- Adding Dry Red Chilli is optional. However, I prefer to temper the oil with chili for its aroma as well as for its spicy taste.
- Now add Mango pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes on a low flame.
- Add Salt, Sugar, and Turmeric Powder and mix properly.
- Add Water to cover the Mangoes and then cook on a low flame for around 10 minutes or till the raw Mangoes soften. Ambol should have sufficient water in it.
- Now take the Ambol out of a bowl and refrigerate before serving.
- We generally serve Amer Tawk, aka Kacha Aamer Ambo,l at the end of the meal.

Notes
- Increase or decrease the sugar based on how sweet or sour is the mango.
- Use of Dry Red Chilli is optional, however, it gives the required punch to Amer Tawk.
- Instead of Mustard Oil, you can use Vegetable oil, however, mustard oil gives the required pungency to the dish.
- Ideally, Aamer Tawn is a runny soup however, you may thicken the same.
