Sungta hinga uda/humman with ambuli

I have already shared the recipe of sungta hinga uda / humman long back in the space. This is the same recipe only difference is adding raw mango pieces and prawn heads. Sungta or sungat means prawns, hinga uda is asafoetida and ambuli is raw mango pieces. This is an authentic G.S.B recipe . Adding raw mango pieces and cooking in mud pot makes the dish traditional and very tasty. If it is tiger prawns we add the heads too. We call it as ‘Sungta Bod’. Back then I was not fond of it but later I realized it enhances the taste of the dish. Aayi and Amma made it a point to add it back then since they always told that it makes the dish tastier. Though Aayi was a seafood eater during her younger days and later turned vegetarian was a great cook and had a great knowledge of G.S.B cuisine. To make it easy for the readers I thought of sharing the recipe in the space.
