Also known as “kairi,” raw mango is a quintessential summer fruit that possesses cooling properties; it also protects one from heat strokes. Here are some innovative ways to help you consume raw mangoes regularly this summer.
Make a tangy and sour chutney out of raw mangoes. This chutney can be savoured with various dishes, including flatbreads as well as rice dishes.
Aam panna is a refreshing summer cooler beverage that is made from raw mangoes, chilled water, spices and seasonings. Beat the summer heat with this invigorating drink.
Infuse chaats, such as bhel puri and sev puri with small pieces of raw mango. The kairi will lend a wonderfully tangy flavour to the chaat dishes, elevating their overall taste profile.
Toss chopped kairi with some onions, mint, lettuce, and chillies to create an appetising raw mango salad. The fresh flavours of this salad are sure to enliven your palate.
Blend raw mangoes with tomatoes, toor dal, and spices to craft a fragrant kairi broth dish. This rasam can be savoured with rice or flatbreads.
A Rajasthani specialty, mix kairi pieces with mustard oil, coriander, bay leaves, and cumin for an enriching kairi curry. This curry is typically relished with khoba roti.
Cut out kairi into thick wedge-like shapes and sprinkle them with some salt, chaat masala, and other seasonings per your liking. This serves as a filling and tangy evening snack.
