    About This Recipe

    Green Mango Kadhi (Raw Mango Kadhi) is nothing but the traditional North Indian Kadhi where the tang comes from the tangy green mangoes in place of yogurt.

    It is easy, quick, and perfect to serve for Indian-style meals.

    This spicy and tangy kadhi is perfect for summer meals, as fresh green mangoes are available in abundance.

    You can easily double or triple the recipe if making it for a crowd.

    Ingredients

    Chickpea Flour – Chickpea flour (besan) makes the base of this kadhi. It also makes it smooth and creamy.

    Green Mangoes – While buying green mangoes, see that they are blemish-free and are dark green in color. Avoid the ones with soft patches.

    Oil – Any vegetable oil will work for this recipe. To make it richer, use ghee instead.

    Others – Apart from the above-mentioned ingredients, you will also need mustard seeds (sarson), fenugreek seeds (methi dana), cumin seeds, asafetida (hing), curry leaves, whole dry red chilies, salt, and turmeric powder.

    For Tempering – Lastly, temper the kadhi with a tempering of ghee, curry leaves, and Kashmiri red chili powder.

    Storage Suggestions

    Mango Kadhi can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat it in a pan or microwave until nice and hot.

      Hi, I tried it out today and it turned out absolutely delicious! It’ll be hard to make the dahi kadhi again after this one! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I did add a bit of haldi though to get the familiar yellow colour… 🙂

      I think you missed yoghurt on the ingredients list as well as on the instructions.

        There is no yogurt in this recipe. The tang comes from the green mangoes.
