Keri Kanda Nu Kachumber, also known as Kachi Keri nu Kachumber, is a Gujarati-style raw mango salad that has sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors all in one. It is made with shredded raw green mangoes, sliced onions, jaggery for sweetness, and basic spices. It is a perfect summer salad or can be served with thepla, paratha, or dal-bhat as a side dish. The contrasting tastes of sweetness from the jaggery, sourness from the raw mangoes, spiciness from the chilies, and savoriness from the onions all come together harmoniously in this Kachi Keri Nu Kachumber.
