Summer is a season of mangoes and arrives with the sweetest and juiciest mangoes. Mango lovers not only make recipes using ripe mangoes but also using raw mangoes. One of them is Kairi ki Chutney / Raw Mango Chutney. They can be had with any Indian snacks or just with chapatis. Raw mangoes can be combined with either onions, coconut, garlic, jaggery, peanuts, coriander leaves, etc to form different types of chutneys. Depending on the ingredient with which raw mangoes are combined we get different tastes. I have combined raw mango with garlic and coconut to get one of the yummiest chutney. Here the coconut helps to balance the spicy and sour flavour of raw mango. If one is not finding time to cook sabji, it can be had with chapatis also.
