Mango Kadhi or Fajeto is a Gujarati dish made with yogurt and chickpea flour. In order to make this dish, pulp of ripe mango is added to it to give a tangy taste. You may be skeptical on how the sweet taste of Mango goes with the tanginess of the kadhi, but be assured, the outcome is a delight to eat. We enjoyed this Mango Kadhi with steamed rice and phulke.
For summer parties, you could easily prepare Mango Kadhi and serve it to your guests to bring in some variety on the table. Also, I have observed that the guests are always open about savouring different cuisines. Hence, once in a while, do try to make dishes of various cuisines such as Mango Kadhi (popular dish of Gujarati cuisine), Katachi Amti (popular dish of Maharashtrian cuisine) or Coconut Rice (popular dish of South Indian cuisine).
For this month make a multi-cuisine meal plan and surprise your loved ones! Do include this yummy Mango Kadhi as well because mangoes are available in abundance these days. So, take a note of this quick recipe and let me know your feedback for the same. Also, you can reach me anytime on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to learn new recipes and food hacks!
