Chana Methi Athanu is a tangy and tasty pickle from Gujarati cuisine. It is made with soaked chickpeas and raw mangoes. But the star ingredient is fenugreek seeds (methi dana) that give this pickle its unique bitter flavour. This bitter flavour is balanced by the raw mangoes. The yellow mustard powder and mustard oil also impart a distinct flavour to this pickle.
The uniquely aromatic, tangy, tasty Chana Methi Athanu is super delicious.
