I am not sure if kethu translates to cut, but in tamil kethu manga are raw mangos cut into pieces and eaten with chili powder + salt. Elliots beach(Beasant Nagar) and marina beach have many vendors selling kethu manga which used to be very yummy. I miss Chennai, especially the beaches where water is so warm you can stand for hours together, unlike the beaches in Bay area, CA where one can hardly stand in the water for maybe 5 minutes in peak summer. I compare the beaches in Chennai to the beaches in Los Angeles, CA and Maui, Hawaii where the waters are very warm and sand so soft that you want to settle with the beach as the backyard.
Ok, coming back to the recipe, which is very very simple. The main item raw mango has to be raw for it to taste good. I find it hard to get raw mangoes here, and there are many a times when i think i got the raw one, to find it ripe.
The receipe for Kethu Manga :-
1 Raw Mango, cut finely.
1 Tsp Chili Powder or as per taste.
1 Tsp Salt or as per taste.
Mix above and enjoy.
Note: You can add tempering of 'mustard seeds/kadugu' and 'asfotedia/hing'.
