***Ingredients gathered to make the Sweet and Sour Mango Dip.***

Firstly wash & peel the mango.
Finely, chop into very small pieces.
Next, finely chop the ginger and green chillies.
Take all of them into a food processor / blender / mixer.
Add all the rest of the ingredients as well.
Blend into a fine smooth paste.
For additional spice, top up with a pinch of dry chilli flakes. Done!!

Tips:

You can use either raw green mango (or) even slightly ripen yellow mango as well. But adjust the sweetness as per the sourness of the mango.
The output colour of the dip depends upon the quality of the mango used.
Adjust the salt & spice as per your taste.
Garlic powder can also be used, instead of fresh garlic.
Don’t add too much of lime/lemon juice, the dip might turn too sour too.
I did try this recipe with oil and even without oil, both ways it turned out great.

And at room temperature stays good for 2 days.
