** You can also fry grated mango separately and add it into tempering, but frying it along with tempering will taste good, green chilli will absorb raw mango sourness and tastes great while eating. (Which most of us love to have it 😋). 

** Do not add fried raw mango gojju into rice at a time, it may taste more sour and tangy. So add small amount and then adjust.
