Hyderabad: Roasted raw mango instant chutney/roti pachadi made with mortar and pestle is ground coarsely. It’s a traditional south Indian fresh chutney/pickle that goes well with rice, roti, dosa, and idli with a dollop of ghee. This type of chutney is also known as thecha and is made by Maharashtrians.

Other than mango, this roti pachadi is made with fresh vegetables, coconut, yogurt and required spices pounded together. Vegetable peel can also be used to make it. You can use ridge gourd peel which is called beerakaya pottu roti pachadi/Beerapottu pachadi which tastes yummy. Raw mango, as we all know, is high in Vitamin A and E, prevents dehydration, and is high in magnesium, making it beneficial to our health.
