The unripe fruit is shredded in Thai green mango salad and, when dried, adds a sour and fruity zestiness to Indian curries and chutneys
While few people would turn down a juicy, ripe, sweet mango, an unripe one – hard and tart – needs a bit of work to appreciate.
In Thailand, unripe mango is made into what is known as green mango salad (although the colour of the fruit does not necessarily indicate its ripeness; unripe mango can also have a yellow to reddish tint). For this dish, after being shredded, the mango is mixed with fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, chillies and other flavourings.
In Indian cuisine, unripe mango is made into a spice called amchoor (or amchur). The fruit is peeled, sliced and sun-dried, and sometimes ground into a pale beige powder.
