Aam chunda recipe – Gujarati raw mango sweet pickle recipe with video and stepwise pictures.
I always love tangy pickles and this is one of a kind.Chunda is a sweet,spicy, sour preserve made with raw mangoes and sugar as base ingredients.Traditionally chunda is made by mixing everything and keeping in a glass jar under sunlight and in the heat the chunda gets cooked in few days.But what I’ve shared here is an instant quick version that can be made in few mins.
This sweet mango pickle with curd rice is my favorite.You can serve it with paratha, chapathi etc.
