Keri no Chundo | Kairi Chunda (Sweet, Sour, Spicy Mango Jam)

A few days ago I posted the recipe for a sweet and sour mango jam called Kairi Murabba or Keri no Murabbo. Today, I am writing about Keri no Chundo or Kairi Chunda, a fabulous variation from Gujarat that is not only sweet and sour but also spicy because of the chilli and cumin in it.

Since the essential process for making both Chundo and Murabbo is the same, I always make them together.

Do also try Maharashtra’s famous Methamba.

Tips

• Rajapuri mangoes are the best for making Keri no Chundo. This is because they are not jaw-gripping tart but are tart/sour enough. They also do not have too much fibre.
• Ensure that the mangoes are raw and not ripening.
• You need not but could refrigerate the Chundo.
