Kerala Raw Mango Chammandi

During the mango season, my dear friend Manju Rajagopal (nee Balakrishnan) used to bring a special 'chammandi' to school. Her classmates (meaning my friends and I) would devour it within seconds and Manju would be left with just plain rice and no accompaniments!
That is when her mother found an ingenious solution - make a larger batch for her classmates.
Aunty was kind enough to share this recipe with me , but I got to say, what I make will never taste as good as what I had during my school days!
A true blue KERALA recipe.

Raw mango
Small onion / shallots - 4 or 5
Red chillies - 4 or 5
salt
Coconut oil - 2 tbsp

Heat the red chillies (without oil) and cool to room temperature.
Pound all the above together (except oil) to get a coarse paste.
(If you cannot pound the ingredients and you need to use a mixer, try to not make a paste.
The fun in eating this dish, is when there are pieces of mango and onion in between.)
Top with coconut oil and mix well.
Serve.
