I used organic jaggery here. If you doubt impurities in jaggery,dissolve jaggery in water,filter and then add in step 6.
It should in a constituency similar to jam.
Adjust chilly as per taste.
If used properly this stays well for a week when refrigerated.
This can be offered to babies above one year.
Always have a word with your pediatrician before offering any new food.
The colour depends on the jaggery used.
Adjust jaggery depending on sourness of the mango used.
Choose a semi ripe mango.
