About Phodnichi Kairi
Phodnichi Kairi is a sweet and spicy Maharashtrian condiment (pickle) made with raw mangoes, jaggery, garlic, and spices. I learned this recipe from my friend in Pune. It needs simple ingredients and comes together in under 30 minutes. It is a great recipe to make during summer when raw mangoes are in season. Serve it on the side with dal and jowar bhakri for a comforting lunch or dinner. It can also be served with a simple varan bhat and papad meal. Jaggery – Use good quality organic jaggery for the best taste. Garlic adds a distinct flavor, but if you are looking for a no-onion, no-garlic recipe, you can skip adding it. Spice Powders – You will need basic spice powders such as turmeric powder and red chili powder. Oil – Use any cooking oil. Others – You will also need brown mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds (saunf), asafoetida (hing), curry leaves, and salt. Skip asafetida for a gluten-free version. Heat 2 tablespoon cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the following ingredients once the oil is hot, and let them crackle for 5-6 seconds.
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds 1 teaspoon cumin seeds ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
¼ teaspoon asafetida 2 tablespoon crushed garlic 15-20 curry leaves
Now add ½ teaspoon turmeric powder and 2 tablespoon Kashmiri red chill powder and mix well. Add 3 tablespoon jaggery powder and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring a few times. Serve or store for 7-10 days in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
