About Kairichi Chutney (Raw Mango Chutney)
This chutney goes best with Indian snacks and as an accompaniment to the meals.
This is a delicious and irresistible condiment to include in your meals. Making kairi chutney is super quick and it tastes refreshing.
At home, we make this chutney in several variations. Sometimes we use jaggery and red chilli powder. Sometimes we use coriander leaves and mint leaves.
All you need to do is combine all the ingredients and blend them into a coarse or fine paste, it’s as simple as that.
And a cherry on top, it’s an oil-free chutney recipe. If you want, you may add tadka, but actually, it’s not needed at all.
I like to keep this chutney a little rustic hence I don’t blend it all the way through to a fine paste. But it’s a personal preference, hence you might blend it to a fine paste or keep the consistency a little coarse.
This chutney has a good shelf life when stored in the refrigerator. It stays good for a week. If you add tadka to it, it will stay good for more two to three days.
Apart from this kairi chutney, you will find so many traditional Indian recipes made from kairi / raw mango all across the country.
I always feel like in India, mango season is truly celebrated as a grand festival with so many different recipes made with raw and ripe mangoes.
Some of the most popular raw mango dishes that are prepared are kairi cha loncha (aam ka achar / raw mango pickle), Kairiche panhe (aam panna), a Maharashtrian speciality of ambe dal, kairas (aam ki launji), then the sweet moramba, the list is endless.
At home, we also make raw mango salad, on of which is this raw mango & sweet corn salad made using subtle spices. It’s a refreshing salad that can be had for snack time or as a side dish.
Summers are harsh here in India, but this fruit makes the heat bearable!
Consuming raw mangoes in summer has its very own health benefits:
- Raw mangoes contain vitamin C which helps to increase immunity.
- Raw mangoes help in the prevention of heatstroke.
To make this delicious chutney, always make sure to select raw mangoes (kairi) that are firm to touch and sour in taste. If the kairi is a bit sweet, it will totally ruin the taste of the dish.
This tongue-tickling mango chutney can be served with parathas, dosa, chilla, bhakri, roti, dal rice, sambar rice, medu vada, and pakoda.
