On the other hand, raw mangoes are known to keep your body temperatures steady, as compared to ripe mangoes. That is why a lot of drinks, accompaniments, side dishes are made from raw mangoes.
Hence, this turned out to be a perfect salad for a summer day to avoid suffering the ripe mango heat.
Sweet - sour - spicy - tangy - crunchy - wholesome. Couldn't ask for more!
