Hyderabad: Raw mango pickle is a tasty and tangy dish, and is a summer special. It is a traditional dish from Gujarat, that is also referred as Chunda /Chundo (Aam ka Chunda). The traditional way of making it is a time consuming process – it literally takes 15 to 30 days. It must be exposed to direct sunlight and must be stirred daily twice until the sugar dissolves and the grated mango turns syrupy and transparent.
As most of us do not have time and the needed sunlight, this is a quick trick to make it instantly and can be stored for a year’s time.
This yummy chunda is generally served with khakhra, thepla, paratha, roti, poori or dosa. Thepla and Chunda make a great combination and even kids enjoy eating it.
This is a gluten-free and vegan recipe and is a good alternative for jams and jellies from markets as they contain preservatives.
