Himachali raw mango Mahni recipe, raw mango dip recipe. 

Mahni is a delightful semi-liquid dish made from raw or half-ripe green mangoes and is usually eaten with plain boiled rice as a side dish in Himachal.

Here are some amazing benefits of green or raw mangoes:- 

According to Ayurveda, it is known for its cooling properties and is often used to make a delightful semi-liquid dish which is a great home remedy for heat strokes. Raw mangoes contain more Vitamin C than the sweet ripe mangoes and work wonders for all your tummy troubles.

The extra dose of Vitamin C helps in the absorption of iron and therefore, raw mangoes are often recommended to those suffering from anaemia. 

Raw mangoes also contain pectin, found in other fruits like berries and apples, which makes it good for your heart. Both raw and ripe mangoes are rich in Vitamin A. raw mango can prevent dehydration and provide energy. 

To make Mahni you will need :

Raw or half-ripe mangoes – 2 large

Onion – One large

Salt – for taste

Sugar – If required (depends on how sweet or sour you like the dish)

Red chilli powder – 1/2 Teaspoon

Fresh Crushed Mint Leaves –  1 tbsp

Freshly chopped coriander leaves –  1 tbsp

Steps to prepare :

Wash and boil the raw mangoes.  ( you can steam them too) Let them cool a little and take out the pulp in a bowl.

Mash the pulp to make it smooth.

Finely chop the onions.

Wash the fresh mint leaves and crush them a little (Save a few for garnish).

Add cold water to the pulp stirring it gently till it makes a nice semi-liquid preparation.
