This raw mango chutney – kairi chi chutney is typically eaten as a side dish with meals or snacks. 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.
I personally love this chutney with medu vada. It tastes soooo yummy!
I like to keep this kacche aam ki 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.
Also as I am a total kairi freak 😁 , I have added fewer cilantro leaves here as I do not want the overpowering taste of cilantro. Hence this chutney is not looking as green as it should be. Again it’s a personal preference.

I always feel like in India, mango season is actually celebrated as a festival! with so many wide varieties of recipes prepared using raw mango or mangoes is a feast in itself.
Some of the most popular raw mango dishes that are prepared are kairi cha loncha (aam ka achar / raw mango pickle), Kairi che panhe (aam panna), a Maharashtrian speciality of ambe dal, kairas (aam ki launji), then the sweet moramba, the list is endless.
Summers are harsh here in India, but this fruit makes the heat bearable!

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.

Kairi / Kaccha Aam / Raw Mango: I have used 1 big raw mango here, which is firm to touch and sour in taste. I washed it under tap water and removed the skin using a potato peeler and grated it.
Coconut: I have used freshly scrapped coconut here.
Herbs & Spices: I have used garlic, ginger, green chilles, cumin seeds & cilantro (coriander leaves) here which enhances the flavour of this chutney.
Seasoning: I have used salt and sugar in this recipe. Sugar helps in balancing the sourness of this kairi chi chutney.
