Hyderabadi kairi ki chutney (Raw mango chutney)

Hyderabadi kairi ki chutney or Kacchae aam ki chutney (raw mango chutney) is a quick and tasty condiment which you can enjoy in mango season. Even a simple meal becomes more scrumptious and extraordinary with this chutney. This raw mango chutney is so easy and quick to prepare and all you need is a good sour raw mango. There are many minor variations of this chutney in each home and even between different places in Andhra Pradesh. I have already shared one which is my home style. I am preparing this raw mango chutney in Hyderabadi style.

During the mango season it is very popular in every home to make aam ki chutney. I still remember that whenever I visited my grandma during the mango season or any of my relatives in their home, I almost always see this chutney during lunch and dinner regardless of whether the meal is a special one or not. The kairi ki chutney is served as a condiment even if the meal is pulao, ghost ka saalan (lamb/mutton curry) and dalcha (meat and lentil curry) because everyone wants to enjoy as much as possible when in season. I mostly enjoy it with plain rice, tomato ki dal along with a drizzle of ghee and a side dish.
