Fajeto (Mango Kadhi) and Moong Ki Chooti Dal

You’ve probably had Aamras hundreds of times, but have you tried Fajeto and Moong Chooti Dal yet? 🥭🌿 Fajeto is a traditional Gujarati dish made by using the leftover pulp from mango skins and seeds (what’s left after making Aamras)—showcasing our belief in using every part of the mango. The process involves washing the skin and seed with water to remove any remaining pulp, resulting in a flavorful and unique dish that’s the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

On the other hand, Moong Chooti Dal is a simple yet delicious dish made by boiling moong dal with basic spices and tempering until dry. It’s a comforting, nutritious, and high-protein side that pairs perfectly with roti or rice and this flavorful Mango Kadhi (Fajeto).
