Kairi Ki Launji

Its time to bid adieu to Summers and welcome the Monsoon Magic. But seems Rain God  is not in a mood to bless us with the showers . So i thought of making optimum utilization of the raw mangoes available in the market . Also, my Mami had requested to share the recipe .Kairi launji is a specialty in Rajasthan which is not only tasty but also shields from the scorching heat. Take a look at the recipe:

• Add dry chilli , turmeric powder , fennel seeds,fenugreek seeds , red chilli powder and cubed raw mangoes. Saute for 10 -15 seconds.
• Now add water , salt and grated jaggery. Mix well.
• Cover the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes or till the mangoes are cooked and the launji becomes pulpy.
