** Chitranna is a spicy- tangy preparation of rice prepared using raw mangoes to be served during meals in most of the homes in southern parts of India. This is not heated and is served at room temperature, the very reason why its needs to be served immediately on preparation. Chitranna is usually served with coconut chutney of one's own choice and my Amma always served this with a spiced masala chutney prepared with addition of cucumber and raw mango which is often referred to as pachodi/ chutney. Pachodi is a salad+ chutney type of dish that tastes excellent and to date I have not found a better combination. The two complement each other so well that you will not want to try any other combination. Cucumber Raw Mango Pachodi is a dish that is almost similar to chutney and really have no idea why it is called pachodi instead of chutney, anyways, just try it. I have given the links to both the recipes below as is my practice with combo meals, just browse through for the same. Do try it, I assure, You will be hooked to the taste of this combination.
** Just a note of cautions : Always serve freshly prepared Mavinakai Chitranna and Cucumber Raw Mango Pachodi immediately lest it looses its taste. It is not heated hence there are chances or it turning rancid making it inedible to be eaten at later point though you can immediately store it in fridge and cool it to room temperature for 15-20 mins before server. However, the best taste lies in serving it immediately.
