Kairi ki Chutney (Raw Mango Chutney)

                   My today's post is something more appetizing than yesterday's Liver Fry. We all enjoy Raw Mango or Kairi as we call it in Hindi during the summer season. Whether it be simply sprinkled with red chili powder and salt or be it in a pickle form or in any other dish. And apart from the amazing taste and happiness that it gives it is also a very healthy pick. It contains high amount of Vit C that helps in formation of new blood cells and also aids in the iron absorption in the body.

                This recipe "Kairi ki Chutney" that I am sharing with you today, is a very simple and tempting Chutney recipe that can be enjoyed as a side dish to your dosa, rice, bread or even roti. 

                  It is a simple combination of  "kairi" (raw mango) and khopra (dry coconut) with green chilies which is then given a tadka to light up your taste buds.

          This Chutney has always been one of my favorites and I am sure it will also become your favorite too. It is surely very easy to make but the taste, the taste is too hard to forget.
