Kairi ka Raita | Raw Mango Raita | Kancha Amba Pachadi

Like most of the other comfort foods, curd is highly nutritious. That is the reason for which it is added in many Indian recipes. It is cooling, soothing, nutritious and light particularly during a scorching Indian summer. Some benefits provided by the curd one should know are :

• Improves digestion
• Boosts immunity
• Promote better cardiovascular health
• Strengthens bones and teeth
• Works as a great mood-lifter
• Helps in weight loss
• Uses as a skin beautifier etc.

As the summer is here in India, so I prefer to keep curd at my place any time throughout the season. And one should include curd in many forms as a part of diet. Some curd related dishes which I have already shared before having curd as one of the major ingredient are 

• Bajre ka Khatti Rabdi / Sour Pearl Millet Porridge, 
• Bael Lassi, Dahi Pakhala / Water Rice with Yogurt or Curd, 
• Chickpea Slaw, 
• Kiwi Pistachio Lassi / Kiwi Pistachio Yogurt Smoothie, 
• Madra – Chickpeas in Yogurt Gravy, 
• Instant Veggie Quinoa Mini Idli, 
• Coriander and Pomegranate Raita and many more.

Well raw mangoes / kancha amba / kairi are easily available during this time period in India and from childhood I always love to have some slices of raw mangoes sprinkled with red chili powder and salt 😋. Beside this, one can surely enjoy a raita using these raw mangoes as Kairi ka Raita / Raw Mango Raita / Kancha Amba Pachadi. This is a cooling seasonal and tangy curd / yogurt preparation. It will work perfect as a simple accompaniment along with rice dishes like biryani, pulao, or even with roti, naan. Just mix everything and the dish will be ready within few minutes. Completely gluten free and no-onion-no-garlic recipe is this.
