PACHA KADU MANAGAI (GREEN MANGO KITCHADI), RAW MANGO RAITA

Pacha kadu mangai, raw mango raita or green mango kitchadi is a form of raita served along with a mild curry i.e.dal rice or molagootal, kootu etc.

We make varieties of raitas as accompaniments for pulao.  Here is an easy and tasty mango raita also known as Pacha Kadumangai (green mango kitchadi).  Kichadi is a malayalam word for the raita and not the one you think the moongdal kichadi or sabudana kichadi as you should not get confused with it.

It  is prepared with raw mangoes with little curd mixed in it.  It is a side dish like we make tomato and cucumber raita. It can go along with Molagootal, dal rice etc.
