About Rajasthani Kairi Mirch Ki Sabji (Green Mango & Chili Sabji)
Rajasthani Kairi Mirch Ki Sabji (Green Mango & Chili Sabji) is a spicy, sweet and tangy curry made using raw green mangoes, green chilies, and a few spices.
It comes together in under 20 minutes and makes for a great side dish with Indian meals, especially in summer.
This sabji is more like a pickle and it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. You will find it in most Rajasthani homes during summer when fresh green mangoes are in season.
Ingredients
Green Mangoes – Choose raw mangoes that are green in color, a little firm to the touch, and free of bruises and soft patches.
Green Chilies – While raw mangoes make it tangy, green chilies add that perfect hint of spiciness. Choose the chilies as per your spice tolerance. I personally like to use mildly spiced chilies to make this sabji.
Spice Powders – This curry uses basic spice powders such as turmeric powder and red chilli powder.
Others – Other than the above-mentioned ingredients, you will also need vegetable oil, asafetida (hing), black mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds (methi dana), nigella seeds (kalonji), fennel seeds (saunf), salt, water, and sugar.
Serving Suggestions
At home, we serve this flavorful Kairi Mirch Ki Sabzi as a side dish with our Indian-style meals. Be it dal chawal, kadhi chawal, or sabzi phulka, it tastes great with almost every Indian meal. Try it!
Storage Suggestions
It will last easily for 7-10 days when stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use a clean and dry spoon for every use, which will ensure that the sabzi lasts longer.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing this recipe 🙂 i would like to point out a common misunderstanding where in India, raw equals to unripe, but actually, in English, raw means uncooked, so a correct name for this would be unripe mango curry and not raw mango curry as I was looking for raw vegan indian dishes 🙂 still inspired by your curry to try to make this into a raw vegan curry. Thanks again!

Sure. I will edit the recipe 🙂
