Home-made Mango Jam| Goan Mangaad| 3 Ingredients Jam | 100% Natural Mango Jam


 Home-Made Mango Jam is all summer favourite in most of the Goan homes and this Mango Jam is locally known as Mangaad .This Mango jam is super delicious and 100 % natural without any preservatives.

Mangaad is prepared using mostly Goan Mussarat or Monserrate De Bardez mangoes or any other locally available mangoes but make sure to pick the sweetest mangoes for best taste. Mangaad is best enjoyed with Goan hard crust bread, chapati or a slice of bread. 










Today this luscious Mango Jam is prepared in my kitchen using the locally available mangoes in Bangalore. This Mango is called as Malika and its too sweet which eventually gives us tasty Jam. Hardest part of the process is stirring the mixture until you get the jelly consistency. So lets get started with the recipe.

Other Mango recipes you might like to try from my blog are the following:

So what you require to prepare Mango Jam /Goan Mangaad

  • Ripe Mangoes
  • Sugar
  • Lemon Juice
To prepare mango Jam you need to wash the Mangoes, clean and cut them. Later remove all the pulp and grind to puree. To the same add sugar and lemon. Mix all well and cook all together on medium flame. Stir on regular intervals to avoid the burning or sticky nature to pan. It takes about 40 to 50 mins for Jam to derive perfect consistency. Once done, allow the Mango Jam to cool down and store it in sterilized bottle. To enjoy the jam refrigerate it.


















Servings approx 500 Grams
Total preparation Time : 1 hr 20 minutes
Total Cooking time : 40 -50 minutes
Cuisine Goan/Indian

Ingredients 
1 Kilo Gram ripped Mangoes
200-150 Gram Sugar
1 Tbsp Lemon juice

Step by step instruction to Prepare Goan Mangaad/Home-Made Mango Jam


1. Wash the Mangoes and dry them. Then cut the mangoes and remove all pulp in a large bowl as shown in the picture below.










2. Add the cut mango cubes to a mixer jar and grind it to smooth puree.The same pour it in pan in which you planning to cook the jam.











3. To the puree add the Sugar and Lemon.











4. After adding the above ingredients mix it all really well and then place the kadai on stove to cook.











5. Once the Jam mixture starts bubbling reduce the flame and cook by stirring on regular intervals.Cook until the mixture starts to leave the edge of the pan or kadai. Also the mixture should hold to the spatula and not flow down. It will take about 40 to 45 minutes for the jam to be ready.











6. At this point when all liquid evaporates the jam will leave the sides of kadai or pan and you will see a jelly like consistency of Jam.For better result you can do the below one more test to get proper consistency of Jam. Drop a spoon full of Jam on cold plate and pass your finger through the Jam drop. You will find the spread intact and clean surface. This means the Jam is perfect and  you can stop the cooking.











7. Allow the Jam to cool down and then stored it in a sterilized airtight glass jar. Store the Jam after cooling in refrigerator and use max 3-4 months. 











8. The Home-Made Mango Jam or Goan Mangaad can be best enjoyed with Pao,Slice of bread or Chapati.Healthy,Zero preservatives and super healthy Jam is ready.
