Its always a delight when my mother-in-law comes to visit and gets me some home-made Maavadu. My kid also loves when grand parents are here as he gets pampered by them and I also get to enjoy their stay with us. Every time my mother-in-law will bring some delicious Vadu Mangai which is made with raw tender baby mangoes.
I finally got the recipe and tried it at home and sharing the video:
