Cardamom powder (Elakka Podi) – 3/4 to 1 tsp
Thin Coconut milk – Around 2 cups
Thick Coconut Milk – 1/2 cup
Cashews – 15
Raisins – A handful
Ghee – 3 to 4 tbsp

Preparation Method
Peel the mangoes and dice it into small pieces.
Boil the jaggery in 1 cup of water to make a thick syrup.
Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a heavy bottomed pan and saute the mango pieces until it changes color.
Mash the mango pieces as it gets cooked. Keep on stirring so that it doesn’t stick to the pan.
Add the jaggery syrup to the pan and keep on stirring until it thickens. This will take some time until it reaches a thick consistency (Varattiya Paruvam). So please be patient at this stage.
Reduce heat and add thin coconut milk to the pan, stirring continuously.
Now add the dried ginger powder and cardamom powder and mix well.
Simmer for 5-7 minutes and then add thick coconut milk. Simmer for a few more minutes and remove from stove top. Do not allow it to boil.
Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a pan and fry the raisins and cashews for a few minutes. Pour it over the pradhaman. Serve this yummy mango pradhaman warm or chilled.
Noteഃ
Please use real good variety of Mangoes like Alphonso.
You can also fry Coconut bits and add it to the Pradhaman for garnishing.
