Mavinakai Chetni:
Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw mango grated
• 1/4 cup coconut freshly grated (optional)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp methi seeds (optional)
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 pinch hingh
• 1 pinch turmeric
• 5 red chilies
• 2 tbs oil

Method: Heat oil in a pan on medium heat until hot. Add and splatter the mustard seeds. Add the methi seeds, red chilies, hingh and turmeric. Turn off the heat, swirl the contents around and pour it over the grated mango. Blend everything into a coarse paste with about 1/4 cup of water. Pour the blended chetni into a serving dish, add salt and mix well.
Cooking Tips: Coconut takes the sour kick out. If the mango is not sour, add 1/4 tsp tamarind while blending. If the chetni is made without adding water or coconut, it will keep fresh for long.
