Recipe
1
Knead the whole wheat flour with yeast, warm water, and a pinch of salt to form a soft dough, then let it rest to rise for the sidu.
2
Shape portions of the fermented dough into rounds and steam them in a traditional steamer until fluffy and cooked through.
3
In a separate heavy-bottomed pan, heat ghee and temper the mustard and fennel seeds until they crackle.
4
Add the raw mango chunks, turmeric powder, and red chili powder, sautéing for a few minutes until fragrant.
5
Pour in a cup of water, cover, and simmer until the mango pieces soften completely.
6
Stir in the jaggery powder and salt, letting the mixture simmer until it thickens into a glossy, sweet-and-sour glaze.
7
Serve the warm, spiced sweet-and-tangy seelu alongside the freshly steamed sidu and extra melted ghee.
