Pour the mango paste into a pan, add sugar, and cook until the mixture thickens.
Grease a container or line it with butter paper, then pour the cooked mixture into it.
Leave the mixture to set for 2 hours.
Cut the set candy into small pieces. Optionally, coat the pieces with sugar.
Ensure the mango is raw for the best flavor and texture in the candy.
Use butter paper to make it easier to remove the candy from the container.
Coating the candy with sugar adds an extra layer of sweetness and texture.
