We (in Karwar and Goa-including the sasav served at Shantadurga Temple) toast(i.e. sasav and mirsang bhajun ghevchi) our mustard and red chillies before we grind them. It gives a nuttier flavor.

Oh, oh Shilpa, I just did this and it’s wonderful! We also made it with tomato and banana, which I also tried, and it is just great.

hi shilpa,
tried this dish with pineapple yesterday. The pineapple we had got didn’t have any taste but adding the chilli-jaggery combination worked out to be very tasty! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

My mom makes this with raw mango ( slightly boiled), ripe mango (mashed) and ambado ( dont’ know what it’s called in english!). This combination works wonders for all of these sweet-sour fruits i suppose

Thanks once again!

In Goa, u use a different variety of mango called ‘ghot’ for this dish. they are smaller in size and have a thready pulp. These cannot be cut but have to be mashed into paste. and the seeds are left in the sasam. so they acquire the combined flavor of itself and the sweet and spicy sasam.

its a delight…

This site is really a great site. God work.Please keep it up. I have one comment regarding how i prepare this sasaam (also called konkani fruit salad). First add salt & jaggery to the fruits and keep it for a while.
When you grind the masala add the raw mustard at the final stage, so you can still feel the coarse remains of the mustard..
