Raw mango puli kuzhambu with step by step pictures.

Summer vacation is over and the school reopens today. With more than 50 days holiday I had a good time with the kids and not a busy morning routine. All good things end and the schedule starts today. Though I didn't cook much today due to water scarcity in our apartment and my head rotates if I think of the hectic days to follow.

Coming to this recipe, I made it for a day lunch during the holiday. Simple to make and taste good as the tangy taste over dominates. Let us see how to make this.
