The name Deva Mangode from Jabalpur is famous for its authentic food. But you will surely be surprised to know how the mangodes are taken out from the hot boiling oil, the answer is using a pan. But this person takes out hot mangodes using his hands.
The shop of Deva Mangode in Jabalpur is 105 years old but the taste is still the same as it was 105 years ago. This shop is run by Atul Jain in the fourth generation. It was started in 1918 by the late Kanchhedi Jain. At that time, 50 grams of mangode was available for 10 paise. After late Kanchhedi Jain, Dalchand Jain and then Devendra Kumar Jain ran the shop. Now Atul Jain has taken over the management of the shop.
Talking to Local 18, Atul Jain said that this tradition has been carried on since the early days. Before frying the mangodes in the shop, this method of worship is followed and while opening the mangode, the hand is kept in the oil. This craft is something he learnt from his father. Atul added that politics is also connected with mangodes. Whenever a minister comes to Jabalpur, he definitely visits the shop to enjoy the dish. Though many ministers including former central minister Sharad Yadav have visited the shop.
Atul Jain said that the mangodes are prepared without onions and garlic. His aunt prepares the masala and lentils by grinding them on the grindstone for 5 hours. The preparation of mangodes masala and chutney takes around 5 hours, the masala is prepared from 8 am to 1 pm. After the masala is prepared, it is taken to the shop where the hot ones are taken out. Its chutney is also very popular. Mango chutney is served with sweet and sour and tomato chutney.
