Oh! The mere mention of this dish brings more than enough saliva in my mouth to start drooling! You know, this has got the nostalgic emotion attached along, cuz my mom used to make manga chammanthy for us during mango season when it is available in abundance in our ancestral home. And that usually, is during our summer vacations. It is so easy to prepare and when she makes this, we just don't ask for any other side dish along with rice. She makes this chutney and gives us an egg omelette and by then, we would've reached cloud 9!
