Chatini/Raw Mango

Chatini, also known as Raw Mango, is a versatile tropical fruit harvested before ripening, giving it a distinct tangy, sour flavor that is loved in many cuisines. Unlike the sweet ripe mango, raw mango is prized for its refreshing tartness, making it an essential ingredient for both traditional and modern recipes. Packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber, and essential minerals, raw mango is not only flavorful but also nutritious. It helps boost immunity, improve digestion, cool the body, and promote hydration, making it especially popular during hot seasons. Raw mango is widely used in chutneys (chatini), pickles, salads, curries, and refreshing drinks like mango panna. Its tangy flavor also pairs perfectly with spices, making it a favorite in both street foods and home kitchens.
