1
Prepare the green mango: wash, cut open with a cleaver, remove the pit, scrape off any film, and chop into pieces.
2
Cook the mango: place chopped mango in pot with 1½ cups brown sugar and 1 tbsp salt, boil until mango softens and is fully cooked, then drain.
3
Heat oil in pot and cook banana, garlic, and hot pepper for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and aromatic.
4
Add 2 cups brown sugar and achar masala, stir well to combine and prevent burning.
5
Add the drained cooked mango to the pot, increase heat to high, and stir well to combine thoroughly.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed. Add more achar masala if a darker color is desired. Continue cooking until a thick, glossy sweet-spicy glaze forms.
7
Cook for a few more minutes to allow flavors to fully meld and create the perfect sauce consistency.
8
Serve warm or prepare 1-2 days ahead and store in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator; reheat when needed.
