This is new for me , and to be frank , I am drooling ! Raw mango in a raita – how very interesting , will give it a try soon .
Oh this reminded me of manga arachu kalakki (salted mango ground with coconut and chilies and then mixed with curd). It’s a dish my grandma used to make a lot during my dad’s childhood. The raita looks good and perfect side dish for the rice!
Raw mango in anything brightens up the dish. I am so going to try this raw mango raita
I am sure this can perk up any meal. Going to try soon when I get hold of some green mangoes.
