KAIRI CHI KADHI | KAIRI AMTI - SAAR

Today we had the first drizzle in hyderabad ....thanks to the rain .......it was a great releif from the scorching heat in summer....Ya but summer reminds of kachi kairi ( raw mango) & kairi reminds me of panha ( a refreshing  mango drink) & kairichi amti

Personally I have a tooth for spicy & sour food rather a khatta meetha taste......this summer i tried this kairichi amti as per the recipe shown in a marathi tv show called as lajjatdar & it turned out yummy....
