Summer in India resonates with numerous food pursuits. The scorching tropical climate of the subcontinent is ideal for making so many condiments and sides. Fresh batches of Papads, Vadam are made, seeds indigenous to India like manathakali, Sunadakai are dried to make Vathal and various kinds of pickles are made. Indian women are pretty busy with these activities throughout summer. Even though pickles are little time consuming, this raw pickle is an instant one.
Mangoes are a summer feast. Before we could dive into this juicy and luscious fruit, we get to taste these acidic and heat intense raw mango pickles. These raw mangoes are like pre summer veggies. They have a wide culinary use in the Indian kitchen. Mamidikaya Pappu, a traditional andhra dish tastes heavenly when made with these small raw mangoes. There is another south indian dish, Mangai sadam which is also made either with these small or big raw mangoes. To follow suit, this is simple yet a must have during the summer! This is best paired with chilled curd rice.
