Sweet ( raw )Mango pickle
There are numerous varieties of sweet mango pickles made from raw green mangoes, and this recipe is among them. It draws inspiration from Gujarat's beloved Chunda but offers a simpler, quicker version for those who can't wait!
Gujarati Chunda (or Chundo) is a delectable condiment traditionally served with Theplas—a traditional Gujarati flatbread made from a blend of whole wheat and chickpea flours, seasoned with spices and fenugreek leaves. Traditionally, Chunda is prepared by marinating a mix of grated raw mangoes and sugar in a large, covered glass jar placed under the sun. Over several days, the sun’s heat melds the ingredients together, turning the mangoes a delicious, translucent color.
However, in today's fast-paced world where immediate consumption is often desired as soon as mango season begins, it is possible to make Chunda quickly. This instant method still preserves its delightful taste and can be stored for up to a year, ensuring you can enjoy a taste of summer long after the season ends.
