Mango Jam with Chia seed is a healthy twist to the usual mango jam. It has no added sugar and preservatives.
It’s the season of mangoes, something magical about this fruit. It is loved by mostly everyone, very few dislike it. The best way to eat mango is Aamras with chapati or puri. It is a match made in heaven and one does not need any other accompaniment to pair.
Mango milkshake is an all time favourite, you can add a few other fruits and make a mixed one if you wish. Try this oat milkshake for a healthy twist. I prefer making a smoothie for myself. h
My mango season will be incomplete without the kesari and mambazha pulissery
Mango jam makes a good accompaniment with bread or chapati. But what if I tell you that a guilt free one can be indulged more often, isn’t it? And I have given a twist to it by adding some chia seed.
To store the jam, use a clean, air-tight bottle. Store it in the refrigerator as no preservative is used, lime juice is the only citrate that is added.

I think I would scoop and eat all that jam instead of spreading it on toast… love the idea of using honey and the additional crunch and nutrition of chia seeds…
