1 Mango (Peeled & deseeded)
Cooking oil 1 tbsp.
Mustard seeds ¼ tsp.
Water 4 cups
Salt ¼ tsp.
Sugar 2 tbsp. for each cup of water

Chaunce the mustard seeds until they splitter. Add the mango, stir a little, and then add the water. Add salt, and let it boil. When half done, add sugar. Cook till the mango is done. Refrigerate and serve over crushed ice. To beat the heat, the consistency of the syrup is kept very thin. During cooler seasons, you can make the consistency thicker by adding less water than mentioned above. In case mango is not available, you may prepare the same with pineapple too. In that case, take half of a medium sized pineapple. Thinly slice it before adding to the cooking pan. You need to add more sugar (3 tbsp. per cup of water), in case you use pineapple.
