Mango Thokku, a delicious and spicy accompaniment made from the raw mangoes. It's one of the most famous side dishes for curd rice. A little bit of mango thokku as sides makes the curd rice so delectable.

For this week's blogging marathon, I chose the theme "Seasonal Veggies" . Being in India during summer, what else would be the seasonal vegetable other than Mango. So you can see three different mango recipes for the coming days.

I saw this recipe in geetradhu channel around one year back and made it for last summer. Ever since, I have been making this thokku whenever I have mango in stock. It's so delicious and can be prepared in minutes. 

Depending on the mango sourness, you may need more or less of red chili powder to balance out the tanginess. Here I have used kili mooku mango which has mild sourness.
