Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango

  • Julienne the raw mango thinly. Soak in chilled water for 15 minutes, then drain thoroughly. Sauté the drained mango in butter until slightly softened. Add the ginger juice and mix well.

Make the Chikki

  • Add the sugar, salt (if using), raisins, and crushed black pepper to the mango mixture. Stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes sticky, approximately 10-15 minutes.

Set and Finish

  • Add the mango essence (if using). Grease a plate or tray lightly with butter. Pour the sticky chikki mixture onto the prepared surface and spread evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness. Let it cool and harden for at least 30 minutes.

Serve

  • Once the chikki has completely cooled and hardened, sprinkle with granulated sugar (optional). Break into pieces and serve. Enjoy your crunchy and tangy Raw Mango Chikki!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Raw Mango Chikki

  • For the best results, use a ripe but still firm raw mango. Avoid overly soft mangoes which may make the chikki too soft.
  • Continuous stirring is crucial to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. Don’t leave the mixture unattended.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar according to the sweetness of your mango. If your mango is very tart, you might need more sugar.
  • Experiment with different nuts and seeds! Chopped cashews, pistachios, or sesame seeds would also be delicious additions.
