How to choose the right mango?
To make good mango powder, it is essential to select the right mango. Always choose unripe mangoes that are hard and have well-developed pits. If the mangoes are soft or lightly ripe, the mango powder will not taste good. First wash and dry the mangoes, then peel them. Now cut them into thin pieces. If you want, you can also grate them, because the thinner the pieces, the quicker they will dry.
Mango Drying Method
Spread the cut mango slices on a cotton cloth or a big plate. Keep in mind that the pieces should not be on top of each other, otherwise they may become moldy. Dry them in strong sunlight for 2 to 3 days. When the pieces become so dry that they break when pressed with hand, then understand that they are ready. If there is even a little moisture left in it, the powder can spoil quickly. It is better to cover them with a thin cloth while drying.
