Mango is called the king of fruits for its abundant taste. India’s main agricultural fruit production is Mango. As you know, mangoes are in variety. Each variety tastes different. Raw Mango has its specialty of sourness. We usually prepare this Raw Mango Chutney or Raw Mango Tokku in summer season as Mangoes are mainly available then and store it for more than 6 months in refrigerator. Throughout Karnataka and Andhra, the tokku is made differently in each town. This recipe what I have posted here is purely a South Canara recipe; we call it as “Mavina Hindi”. Whenever we are bored with eating the same variety of chutneys or tired of cooking, we can have this with plain rice. Here in this recipe not many items are added thus making it the easiest dish to prepare. Well I call it a child’s play. My aunt used to prepare sweet gojju from this Raw Mango Chutney or Raw Mango Tokku of which I shall post shortly. This goes well with plain rice. Manvina Hindi or Tokku can be served with curd rice too. So try and enjoy this simple Raw Mango Chutney or Raw Mango Tokku and enjoy your summer.
