In a separate pan take jaggery (cut into smaller pieces) and water and boil it until all the jaggery dissolves into it. Strain this water to remove any impurities. 

Place the peeled mango skins, pulp, and seeds into this jaggery water and immerse them inside it properly. You can cook this together to one boil. And your Gudumba is ready to be consumed after cooling.
