KAYRAS

Since its the mango season and raw mangoes (kairi) are available everywhere there have been a lot of mango dishes in my home. This is one of them. It’s kind of sweet and hot at the same time. Kayras keeps for more than a week when refrigerated. It is a side dish served with roti and vegetable preparations along with the chutneys and koshimbir
