Our Mangoes arrive all the way from Valsad, they are brought to our warehouse by our In house Keri Expert ‘Bhola’. We choose Ladwa mangoes to make our Chhunda because of their high water content, firmness and unique sourness. The mangoes are washed, dried, peeled and then grated using a traditional ‘Cheni’.Salt and turmeric are then added to the grated mango and its left to marinate for a few hours.Once the Mango has leached out some of its water, sugar is mixed in batches, this entire process is done by hand since the heat of human touch helps in melting the sugars. This mixture is left to marinate for a couple of days during which time it is mixed by hand twice a day to make sure all the sugar has melted.
Our entire batch of Chhunda is transported to the terrace after a couple of days and its left under bright sunlight to facilitate the slow cooking of the sugar for 10 days or until the syrup reaches one thread consistency (It is this slow cooking that gives our Chhunda its unique taste). During these 10 days, the pickle is mixed well twice a day to ensure that it doesn’t dry out on top.
In the cool evenings, our precious Chhunda is covered and enclosed with steel nets to keep pests and prying humans away.
The Chhunda is brought back to our factory once the desired consistency is reached and left to cool for 24 hours. Hing Cumin, and red chilly is then mixed in and again left in the sun for a day so that it is removed any unnecessary moisture, after cooling its ready to use.
The Chhunda is now ready to be packed and shipped to our customers.
