Raw Mango Chammanthi

To make Raw Mango Chammanthi, start by cleaning and peeling the raw mango. Cut it into pieces and add them to a mixer jar along with green chillies, grated coconut, salt, and a pinch of sugar. Grind the mixture until it's well combined but not a fine paste. Serve it as a spicy and tangy side dish with steamed rice or rice porridge.

Yes, Raw Mango Chammanthi is completely vegan as it contains only raw mango, green chillies, grated coconut, salt, and sugar. It makes a great addition to a plant-based diet and can be enjoyed by anyone looking for a fresh, tangy side dish.

If you don't have grated coconut, you can substitute it with ground almonds or cashews for a different texture and flavor. Alternatively, you can use desiccated coconut, but it may alter the freshness of the dish slightly.

Leftover Raw Mango Chammanthi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, it's best enjoyed fresh to maintain its vibrant flavors. If it becomes too watery, you can mix it again before serving.

Raw Mango Chammanthi pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, rice porridge, or even as a spread on flatbreads. It can also complement grilled fish or chicken, adding a spicy and tangy kick to your meal.
