Recipe:
Place the raw mangoes in a pressure cooker and add around 500 ml.of potable water. Close the lid and cook for 1-3 whistles depending on the hardness of the mangoes. Usually in 3 whistles the mangoes get soft enough.
When the steam gets released and the cooker cools down, open the lid and remove the cooked mangoes. Puncture the mangoes and squeeze out the pulp and seed. There will be some pulp attached to the skin of the mangoes as well. Keep it as well.
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.
