Mango Chunda is ready.

Chunda is a Gujarati mango pickle which is made in all Gujarati households. It is made from raw mangoes and similar to most of the Gujarati recipes, lot of sugar is needed in this recipe. 

In this recipe, the grated raw mangoes are mixed with lots of sugar and some spices and then this mixture is sundried. Red chili powder and roasted cumin powder are then added to it. The sweetness of sugar, the mild spice of red chillies and the sour raw mangoes make for a mouthwatering combination.

This Chunda pickle goes well with theplas, khakras and parathas.
