Takku

Takku is chutney prepared from raw mango. I am a bit confused about its Maharashtrian or Gujarati roots. Now this confusion is pretty obvious since I am a Matthu and my best friend is a Gujju :) I am not sure if I have this at my place or her place.. Hence this confusion. But I am sure about one thing.. This chutney is quick n easy to prepare, tasty and can serve as an accompaniment to rotis, dosas, parathas ans bread. A must try in Kairi(raw mango) season!

This is my entry for Deepa’s AFAM Mango
