Instructions
- 1
Place the whole raw mangoes in a medium saucepan and add 2 cups of the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 18–20 minutes, until the skin is wrinkled and the flesh feels completely soft when pierced with a knife.

While the mangoes cook, toast the cumin seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and a shade darker. Transfer immediately to a plate to stop cooking, then grind to a coarse powder using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon.
