The internet world has a great part in my life just like yours. It is the most generous society, when it comes to sharing experiences, laughs or recipes and even food.
Here is a some friendly blabber I'm sharing with you that will have you ROFL for sure...
Aamir Khan:

Aakash Kumar: Awesome.. Go for the kill
Aamir Khan: The 50 Kgs I bought last year still will take some beating :)
Vaibhav Parekh: 'Aam' ka wazan hai ki 'Aam Aadmi' ka!!!!
Aamir Khan: Aam-Dani athanni, kharcha rupaiya!
Aakash Kumar: too much Aam craze.. you may wanna use this as your DP during 'Aam' Season:
Vaibhav Parekh: an 'Arm' for an 'Aam'!!
Aamir Khan :Aam-shaking is a way of greeting in Ratnagiri :)
Vaibhav Parekh: King of Mangoes should be called 'Aamitabh'!!
Aamir Khan :And comedian amongst Mangoes should be called "Jim Kairi'
Vaibhav Parekh: Katy Perry is thinking of changing her name to 'Peti Kairi'!!
Aamir Khan: And the Ravan villain amongst the mangoes will be called ""Dus-Sehri"

Raju Dedhia: bhai .. kuch export bhi kardo !!!
Anjali Koli : Make sure you're chilling the mangoes well before you eat and take an antidote of curd or sabja water in the day...that will avoid skin eruptions and other heat related stuff. Garmi Bahut hoti hai is phal mein...
Anjali Koli : Lol to all the all the Aam blabber...Aam junta!!!
Well in this conversation I also realized how rich Indian languages are we don't say just Mango for a fruit that has 2 stages, we don't need 2 words to describe them. Kairi is a single word for raw mango while a ripe one is called Aam/ Amba.
Now the recipe I'm remaking here is Saee's. The jar of chutney that you see below is a gift she gave us when we blogger buddies met. At home people demanded that I make a huge batch for the big family. Saee now has my family and my circle of friends for fans.
Ingredients:
5 medium-sized raw mango
4 cup jaggery
4 halves dried coconut
3 teaspoons Kashmiri chili powder (she uses whole red chilies)
4 tsp. fenugreek seeds
4 tbsp. vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Method Peel and grate the mango, she says. Lazy me just chopped roughly and let the grinder do the hard work.
Lightly fry the fenugreek seeds in the oil.
Once fragant put off heat and add the chili powder to the hot oil.
Stir till oil cools a bit and the chili powder is not chared and smokes evenly with the hot oil.
Crush the jaggery, creates a lesser load on your grinder. Especially when you make a huge batch like this one.
Place all ingredients in the mixer jar and grind. No water is required. Remove to an airtight container and store it in the fridge.

This chutney is wonderful with whatever you want to have it with. Chips, breads, rice and though we are eating it like this with every meal these days, I sent it as dip along with Kothimbir vadi for my friend Sangita's birthday celebrations with her team at work and they simply adored it.
We also mixed up some pohe-kurmure chivda with chopped onions and tomatoes and laced it with this Kairi chi chutney. A sukha bhel for your 4pm hunger and oh so healthy.
Stay warned you will be addicted!
Saee has compiled the mango recipes on her blog go over to check them out. They are some of the most authentic and delicious Marathi recipes.
thanks for your comment on my page Anjali...really photography is very fascinating. and for foodies like us nothing is fancier than good food.
ReplyDeletethe chuteny looks awesome. never tried adding coconut in chutney but looks delicious.
Sayantani coconut gives it a nice texture smooth yet not sticky like another favourite thokku.
DeleteIt's my favorite and can eat it with bread too!
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteI'm go glad you liked the chutney--the true complement is in the fat that you made it again! Your Peanut barfi was over in minutes so no pictures there. But will make something with your fiery Koli masala and report promptly!
ReplyDeleteI await your recipe with eagerness and curiousity
