Raw mango season is here. This is the time to make mango pickle/chutneys and other dishes like Aamras. You can buy raw, unripe mangoes from most Indian grocers. Select firm/hard ones, not the ones that are beginning to soften. If you like mangoes, here are a few recipes to try;

Mango Hot Pickle - Gupta Family Style

Mango Pickle with Asafoetida - Hot!

This pickle is eaten in most north Indian homes, but it is not easily available ready-made.

Mango Panna, a Drink

Mango Amras or Panna, A Sweet & Sour Side Dish or Drink

Hi Mamta

Don't know where to get raw mangoes. Not in France, I guess. I'm in Manchester, England right now: any suggestions?

I fancy doing my own mango chutney!

Hi Phil

I guess you will find them at good/large Indian grocers. Make sure they are hard, not going a bit soft. Once they begin to go soft, they are no good for pickles, or for chutneys that requires cooking. It my actually already be a bit late for pickling mangoes, but you may get lucky!
